MotoGP will visit TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands this weekend for the Dutch Grand Prix, following the postponement of the Kazakhstan GP that was set to take place on 16 June.

Last year’s grand prix was won by Francesco Bagnaia, who took his fourth of seven wins, before taking home the championship title at the end of the year.

Bagnaia is currently sitting in second place in the rider standings for the 2024 season, 18 points behind championship leader Jorge Martin. The Italian has taken back-to-back race wins in the last two races, which included the Catalan GP and his home race in Mugello.

Angel Nieto has taken 15 wins at the Dutch Grand Prix – the most of any rider – with victories across both the 125cc and 50cc classes between 1970 and 1984. He is just one race win ahead of Giacomo Agostini, who took 14 titles in the 500cc and 350cc classes between 1968 and 1976.

Where is the Dutch Grand Prix being held?  

The MotoGP Dutch Grand Prix will take place at the TT Circuit Assen, in the northeastern part of the Netherlands. It is known as the Cathedral of Speed by many fans and is one of the most prestigious races on the MotoGP calendar.  

The track initially opened as a street circuit in 1925, with the Dutch TT running through the villages of De Haar, Barteldsbocht, Oude Tol, Hooghalen, Laaghalen and Laaghalerveen. The street track was used until 1954, when it was closed to make way for a purpose-built track.  

The modern circuit opened in 1955, with upgrades made circuits buildings in 1999 and 2000. In 2006, the track was redesigned, with only the main straight remaining the same. A chicane was added in 2010, making the modern circuit 2.830 miles long.  

The lap record was set at the Dutch Grand Prix in 2022, when Aleix Espargaró set a time of 1.32.500.
