The 2026 Assen MotoGP is underway with Friday practice sessions. Marco Bezzecchi leads the championship despite a tough weekend in Brno, where he crashed and was suspended. Marc Marquez is closing in on the leaders, now 40 points behind after back-to-back wins in Hungary and Czechia.
Temperatures are expected to be high this weekend, but may drop by Sunday. Marquez has signed a new two-year contract with Ducati, and will be joined by Pedro Acosta in 2027. Acosta is currently dealing with reliability issues on his KTM bike.
The championship is heating up, with Jorge Martin and Bezzecchi at the top, and Marquez gaining ground. The Assen MotoGP is expected to be an exciting race, with many riders vying for position.
