"I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat."
-John Milton, London, 1644
"I'm going to ride my fast machine!"
-Franco Morbidelli, Assen, 2025
It's always awesome to be in Assen, and this year was no exception as the Dutch track celebrated it's Tourist Trophy Centennial. Luckily, the race itself proved worthy of the occasion with some truly spectacular fights. We've got Marc Márquez winning, but something seems different this time around. We've got Alex crashing, more teams than Ducati on the podium and Franco Morbidelli being, well, Franco Morbidelli.
Also, we've got a surprising amount of poetry?!
It's going to be a good one, so go get yourself a drink and let our humble bards Mat and Peter sing you the ballade of Assen. Cheers!
