The MotoGP paddock arrives in The Netherlands this week for the only
Saturday race of the year, The Assen TT on the 30th June. Yamaha Factory
rider Jorge Lorenzo arrives at the Assen circuit having won the last
three consecutive races and leading the Championship by 25 points. The
Dutch circuit is a favourite of his, having won there in all three Grand
Prix classes.
Ben Spies arrives at the Assen circuit looking to repeat his
performance of last year. The Dutch TT was the scene of his first Grand
Prix race victory, taken in the special red and white Yamaha 50th
Anniversary racing livery. Spies has also taken a pole and a race win in
the World Superbike class at Assen and counts it as one of his favorite
tracks.
The Assen circuit has huge historical significance as the only track
to have been part of the Grand Prix World Championship calendar since
its inception. This year will mark the 82nd anniversary of TT racing.
Sometimes referred to as the ‘cathedral’ by fans for its historical
significance, the race was originally run on public roads. It has now
evolved into a fast and physically demanding circuit featuring high
speed chicanes and varied camber changes.
Jorge Lorenzo
“Assen and Brno are the tracks I think I have won at the most. I feel
very strong there and we are very focused this season so I’m confident.
We haven’t made so many mistakes and are working well towards the
Championship title. Our target remains to be on the podium each race and
if possible take a win. Assen is good for our bike and it suits my
riding style so let’s see what happens.”
Ben Spies
“I’m really looking forward to this race. I love riding the Assen
track and have always had great results here, especially last year! The
place of your first Grand Prix win will always be unique. We’ve had a
tough start to the year but have made good steps forward so I’m
confident that we can step up and be fighting for the podium this
weekend.”
Wilco Zeelenberg
“I’m really looking forward to the Dutch GP. I know from my years as a
rider that it’s a very hectic week but one of the most exciting. There
are lots of people there from my years of racing and it’s good to see
them again in the paddock, a lot of memories! For the team it’s also a
good moment to recover our performance from last year where we had a
difficult race. Jorge loves the track so we hope the weather is
consistent and I’m sure we’ll be there fighting with the top boys.”
