Event Statistics

Description

The Dutch Tourist Trophy, also known as the TT Assen, is a Dutch motorsport event established in 1925 for road racing motorcycles held on the TT Circuit Assen, also known as the ‘Cathedral of Speed'. The event attained world championship status in 1949 when it was sanctioned by the FIM as part of the inaugural Grand Prix motorcycle racing world championship season, making it the oldest event on the MotoGP calendar. The venue holds the record for being the only circuit to have hosted a motorcycle Grand Prix event every year since the series was created in 1949. However the 2020 race was cancelled due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The races were traditionally held on the last Saturday of June however, from 2016 onwards it has been held on Sunday of the last weekend of June, bringing it in line with all other MotoGP races.

Championship leader Fabio Quartararo cruised to victory ahead of Yamaha teammate Maverick Vinales at the Dutch MotoGP in Assen. The 22-year-old Frenchman started strongly and was rarely troubled as he secured his fourth win of the season, beating Vinales who started on pole.
