(Reuters) - Assen will host the Dutch MotoGP round until at least 2026, series organisers said in a statement on Saturday.

The Dutch TT was first held at the circuit in 1925 and Assen is the only venue to have been on the motorcycling grand prix calendar every year since the world championship started in 1949.
