The WSBK teams headed to Assen for the TT. The fast circuit suited the Aprillia and Kawaskais, which took the wins. We took to Twitter to see what happened.
Moto GP has Marc Marquez. WSBK will have Sam Lowes – another special talent
Kenan Sofuoglu and @samlowes11 have already qualified for #WSBK Superpole with their laps. Wait, this is Supersport isn’t it? Ouch!

Some took issue with the TV presentation
#Eurosport #WSBK Neil Hodgson and James Haydon must be worst, most boring, studio guests ever used during WSBK tv coverage. #justsaying

Best #WSBK finish I’ve seen in years!

And the Assen circuit is just great. I do hope they don’t try to ‘improve’ it again
