MotoGP vs Superbike 1-1​

Despite its 18 turns, the TT Circuit Assen is very ridable, with several fast corners and only one sharp turn, where speed drops to under 180 km/h (112 mph). Except for Le Mans, the tracks that have already hosted races this year have always had at least one braking section with a deceleration greater than 200 km/h (124 mph), with peaks close to 250 km/h (155 mph).

The ten braking sections of each lap involve a total brake use of 29 seconds, equivalent to 31 percent of the race. The World Superbike Championship, which will be here in a month, has ten braking sections. However, brake usage is just over 26 seconds per lap, even though the load on the production-derived brake lever is almost 38 kg (83.8 lbs) per lap compared to 36.6 kg (80.7 lbs) for MotoGP. ​
