# Dutch TT – Top 5 Races at Assen

The MotoGP world championship again returns to ‘the Cathedral’ this weekend for the 2016 Dutch TT.

Assen is one of the most historic tracks on the entire MotoGP calendar with the Dutch circuit being the longest running event in the history of the world championship.t

With Assen being one of the longest circuits on the calendar, it means that it has provided some classic moments over the years. The circuit has rarely stayed the same, although the finish line has stayed in the exact same place since the 1920s.

Assen has been one of Valentino Rossi’s favourite tracks over the years. The nine-time world champion has taken seven wins at the famous circuit in the premier class. Rossi also won here last year, in controversial circumstances.

Here, we count down five of the best Assen moments of recent memory. Whether that be Rossi’s comeback win in 2013 or one of many of the last corner incidents that have occurred over the years.
