Euro Moto Assen: Saturday’s schedule – two Superpole sessions and five races

As usual, there’s plenty to see on Saturday. Alongside the final races, the first races get underway straight after the lunch break. Before that, the Euro Moto Superbike riders will contest their final laps in the two Superpole sessions as they battle for the best starting position.

A visit to the doctor

Anyone who needs to see a doctor will usually be seen by Dr Martin Schweiger, who is in charge at the local Medical Centre. You can contact them by telephone on +31 592 380 360. The Medical Centre is open on Friday from 08.30 to 18.15, on Saturday from 09.30 to 18.15 and on Sunday from 10.30 to 18.15. If you need to go to the local hospital, it is the Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis Assen, Europaweg-Zuid 1, 9401 RK Assen. You can call them on +31 592 325 555

The surcharge

Since 1 July 2026, the Dutch authorities have been levying a kilometre-based lorry charge known as the Vrachtwagenheffing. The charge applies to all vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes. This replaces the Eurovignette. Camping vehicles are exempt from this rule but must be registered.

The rev limit certificate

Bulletin No. 03/2026 now confirms the reduction in Ducati revs in writing. Anyone competing on a Ducati Panigale V4R manufactured from 2025 onwards, whether as a permanent rider or on a wildcard, is limited to a maximum rev limit of 15,600 rpm.

The live stream

From this afternoon, in addition to the free live timing provided by Bike-Promotion, the live stream from Radio Viktoria will once again be available via the Euro Moto YouTube channel. Broadcasting begins at 2.20 pm. Production manager Stephan Kraus had been looking forward to spectacular footage from the live drone, but unfortunately that won’t be happening this time either. Afterwards, it’s worth taking a look at the official results.

Topic of the week

Topic of the week: Aprilia comeback? The truth is: Aprilia never went away!

Four weeks ago, Aprilia headed into the summer break from Germany with a badly injured Marco Bezzecchi. The response came from the heart of British motor racing: ‘Together we are strong!’
