Assen is coming!

Danilo update.

Spinelli filling in.

Petrux accident.

If you don't know your Assen from your Elbow... 2015 race. This place is magical.

Some more OLD Assen fun!

WSBK spoiled it already for me. This is wild though. Poor danillo hasn't been able to win a race yet and then this guy shows up and...

Crazy mixed conditions (50/50) during SSP R1 at Assen.

From barely hanging on in the points-paying positions to on the rostrum for P2 and P1 fired through the pack like a missile.

SBK R1 = testimony that intermediate tires are unstoppable when the conditions are right. However, it seems that window of conditions is narrow as evidenced by the 24s lead tumbling to 3s before the red flag came out. No doubt Nemo narrowly escaped the two apex predator sharks behind him.

Good gravy…AB01’s sprint muscles came alive in SBK SP2.

Still giving some props to Spinelli. If he had gone ANY slower, he wouldn't have won. Obviously, there was a caveat but a win is a win. How cool for him

SSP R2 was interesting. It was cool to watch GvS28 deliberately choosing to stay off the drying line.

Tough day for SM62 finishing in P20.

Hockenheim back in the day. That place was so bumpy! This is 1996...so 28 years ago.
