TT Assen 2026: VIP fan win and tight MotoGP title fight

Martin and Bianca Hogendoorn won a RIDERS giveaway that granted them a €1,100‑valued VIP package for the TT Assen 2026 race weekend. Their experience included exclusive parking, access to the TT Holland House hospitality area, a paddock tour with meetings and photos of riders such as Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, and a full catering programme featuring food‑trucks and Dutch poffertjes.

The 2026 TT Assen meeting was noted for unusually warm weather and dramatic on‑track action. Aprilia achieved a surprise 1‑2 finish, while newcomer Ogura claimed his first MotoGP victory. Marco Bezzecchi crashed out, leaving him second in the championship behind teammate Jorge Martín, who retook the lead. Fabio Di Giannantonio remained a strong Ducati contender, and Marc Márquez, after a 40‑point deficit, finished outside the podium but limited the damage. In the Moto2 class, Dutch riders Collin Veijer and Zonta van den Goorbergh scored modest points, with Veijer finishing ninth and van den Goorbergh thirteenth.
