More from a press release issued by WorldSBK:
Oettl beats out Arenas and Oncu in red-flagged Race 2 in Assen for his first WorldSSP win. The German rider topped the podium for the first time since his Moto3 win at Jerez back in 2018.
The FIM Supersport World Championship closed out their Pirelli Dutch Round with a dramatic Race 2 finale at a rainy TT Assen Circuit. All riders bet on the track drying out, opting for slick tyres despite the blustery conditions. The track dried as the race continued, but it was Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) who took the cake as he led the race when the red flag was waved and ended the contest. His efforts name him as the 70th different WorldSSP winner, and his 15th overall podium. Behind him, Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) took his fourth podium in three rounds, and Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) got onto the rostrum for the first time in 2026.
GERMANY ATOP THE PODIUM: Oettl becomes the first German winner in eight years
It was a diverse cast of riders trading blows at the top of the timesheet, with six riders within a second by Lap 8. Philipp Oettl slipped past Alessandro Zaccone (Ecosantagata Althea Racing Team) for P2 on Turn 1 of Lap 8, clinging to the rear wheel of Can Oncu as the German sought his first win. He took the lead at the start of Lap 10 and held onto the lead until a red flag was waved for a crash involving Roberto Garcia (GMT94 Yamaha), who was later declared fit with a contusion to his left foot, and an abrasion to his left thigh. As the race had covered more than 2/3 of its total distance, the results were finalised, and Oettl was named the winner for the first time in WorldSSP. Behind him, Albert Arenas sent himself into Turn 1 in P1, and Can Oncu flew up the field to take first by Turn 4 after starting in P12. The pair scrapped for P1early on as they traded brave overtakes for the race lead until Oettl made his way past, relegating Arenas to P2 and Oncu to P3.
ZACCONE MATCHES HIS MARK: The Italian takes P5 for the first time in ten years
Tom Booth-Amos (PTR Triumph Factory Racing) made up for his P11 starting position to take a tidy P4. Alessandro Zaccone took his best result since his pair of P5s back in 2016. Assen was an encouraging step forward for the MotoE Champion, and he’s one to keep an eye on going forward. Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) didn’t look fully comfortable in the mixed conditions on track, and he saw his P2 starting position converted to a P6 finish; however, he keeps his Championship lead.
ZXMOTO LANDS IN TOP SEVEN: Debise finishes 2.2 seconds out from P1
Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) took his worst result since Phillip Island; however, it is a testament to how strong his season has been so far, as he takes P7 in the tricky Race 2 conditions. Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) maintained his top-ten streak as he battled with Debise, finishing P8 ahead of his teammate Dominique Aegerter, who finished P15. Mattia Casadei (D34G WorldSSP Racing Team) took advantage of the weather and landed his best result of the season so far in P9, even riding as far forward as P2 early on. Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) wasn’t as fortunate in Race 2 as he was in Race 1, his P10 arriving as his second-worst result of the season behind his P24 in the season opener.
