The Dutch TT at Assen has been voted as the ‘Best Grand Prix of 2025’ by the MotoGP paddock.

The annual award ‘considers every facet of each MotoGP event’ with ‘teams and paddock stakeholders participating in the process’.

Assen scooped the accolade during its centenary year, when 200,000 fans attended its end-of-June grand prix event.

That included a Sunday crowd of 109,499, who witnessed eventual champion Marc Marquez complete a double victory.

“Assen has a special place in the hearts of many MotoGP fans and it is easy to understand why,” said Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group.

“The venue as it is today is a modern circuit with incredibly high standards, creating truly amazing races, and its history speaks for itself.

“We’re very proud to have witnessed much of this evolution firsthand and to see Assen continue to set attendance records – welcoming more and more fans with even more activities and entertainment for them to enjoy.

“Best Grand Prix is a hotly contested award, and we want to congratulate everyone at the TT Circuit Assen, and the whole Dutch GP team, for this achievement.”

The trophy will be officially presented on Sunday, 28 June, at the 2026 Dutch round.

“This award is a huge compliment to everyone who delivers the Dutch GP,” said Arjan Bos.

“We’ve built the event around three pillars: putting the sport first by providing the best possible service to teams and riders; putting our fans first with the best experience we can offer, including hospitality; and adding entertainment that makes the weekend truly unique – from music, flypasts and fireworks to a spectacular opening ceremony and a podium where the bikes rise on a lift.”

Bos added that Assen will continue pushing to improve.

“Combined with our century of racing history and the great names engraved on the trophy, this is exactly what we set out to build years ago – and we’ll keep raising the bar.”

The Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona, a last-minute replacement for Valencia, was voted as best Grand Prix of 2024, while Qatar won in 2023.
