MotoGP – TT Circuit Assen Netherlands – June 27

Also known as the Dutch TT, this race has been held every year at the TT Circuit Assen since 1949.  Teams and fans alike will be praying that the good weather holds for the seventh MotoGP event of the 2009 World Championship.  The action kick-starts today and runs through Saturday June 27. 2009. 

This fantastic spectator sport is not for the faint of heart -as the bikes push the limits hurtling past at speeds often reaching 185 mph (310 kph). 

If you plan to travel out to the races, don’t forget to take along your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) as it is valid in The Netherlands.  However, please remember that the EHIC is not a substitute for comprehensive travel insurance!
