“It’s always nice to have your home round and I love being here a🦩t Assen,” van der Mark said ahead of the Dutch Round.

“It’s a track I really enjoy riding, especial🌺ly with how things went in the last round at Portimao, [so I’m] really looking forward to it. I think we could be quite strong.”

He ad🙈ded: “I really want to be on the podium here. As we’ve seen before, the field is very competitive and close, so we have to work on details. I thin❀k we can be quite strong, and my dream is to be on the podium.”

Reflecting on Portimao, where he was able to finish in the top-six in both long𒀰 races, van der Mark stressed the importance of the pre-event test at the Por𝓡tuguese venue two weeks before racing there.

“The bes𓃲t thing for us wa༒s we had a good test at Portimao,” he said.

“We had many ideas after Austral🌃ia, and we nee😼ded to find something.

“At Portimao, we had the package ready, and we had something where we feel comfortable; it’s not the best yet but at least we have something we can be very consistent wi꧙th.”
