Jorge Martin will be hoping to maintain his good form by clinching the
Dutch TT Assen title after winning the most recent race.
Most recent race
The Ducati (Prima Pramac Racing) rider won at the recent 2023 German MotoGP on June 18 as he picked up 25 points.
Martin, who is nicknamed the Martinator, started sixth on the grid at the Sachsenring and he went on to win the race.

Martinator finished seventh at last year's Dutch TT Assen having started third on the grid as he failed to maintain his spot in the top three places.
It was the Spanish Grand Prix motorcycle racer's best performance in this race as he was forced to retire in his debut appearance in 2021.
Why Martin could win the 2023 Dutch TT Assen
Martin is placed second on the Riders' standings as he hopes to go all the way and clinch his maiden MotoGP world title.
The 25-year-old will be confident of making it two wins in a row in the 2023 MotoGP season by clinching the Dutch TT Assen title.

What did he say?
"The engine in general is working better everywhere," Martin said of the improvements made by Ducati with the 2023 bike after winning the German MotoGP. "The most important thing that they thought of was the connection with the throttle. I felt it straight away.
"Last year I was struggling a lot to recover that spin, with rear grip. For sure, for one lap I had that new tyre grip, but as soon as the tyre dropped it was really difficult to manage it. "Where I feel it the most is the braking. I feel it a lot.
"Last season maybe the engine was pushing [into the corners], but something changed and I feel like I can brake hard. Last season it would be impossible to overtake Pecco on braking, or anybody. Today I was strong. So, I think the braking is the point where I improved the most from last year."
