MotoE: new record for the fastest lap in the race set by Eric Granado 1:43.08
 
MotoGP - Five specifications tested. Two in the front and three in the rear. Today we collected valuable information. Yesterday the track condition was very unstable, going from full wet to completely dry surface.
 
For the race: the Soft tyre in the front provides riders with a very good feeling and also a strong grip on maximum angle. The Medium front tyre could also be a good choice when looking for braking support and stability. The three rear tyre options are all suitable for the race, as the level of wear due to the surface is low. More in detail: high grip/performance from the start with the Soft tyre. The Medium tyre provides a good balance between grip and durability/consistency during the race. The grip of the Hard tyre is fair with the advantage of higher stability, which is an important feature here in Assen.
 
The grip of the track during tomorrow morning Warm Up will be the main criteria for the teams to fine-tune the setup of the bikes and to decide on the race tyre strategy.
 
MotoE: Race 1 - 
Exciting race with a fight until the last corner. Sustainable materials Michelin tyres performed well, despite few marks on the right side. Good overall consistency.
