Visitors to the Superbike meeting in Assen will not complain about the presence of small steps on the racetrack. With five series, the schedule is very stuck – eleven races will be held.
Four weeks after the Superbike meeting in Barcelona, the world championship series will enter its third round in Assen on Friday next week. The traditional Dutch track is the only series on the calendar with 65 races;
After tests held in Australia and Barcelona before the race weekend, this will not be the case in Assen for the first time this season. This may have an impact on the balance of power, because so far the pilots have already entered the first free training with the appropriate configuration.
Apart from the Superbike World Championship and the two Supersport series, two other series have to be fixed on the third event schedule. The supporting program includes the Yamaha R3 Cup, which has been upgraded to the World Cup this year, and the Northern Talent Cup.
Starting this year, the first important decisions will take place on Friday with the Superpoles of the Supersport series and the R3 Cup/NTC; As before, qualifying for the World Superbike Championship will take place on Saturday.
