Australian rider Senna Agius topped the second free practice session for the Moto2 class at the TT Circuit Assen on Saturday morning, June 27, 2026.

Manuel González finished 0.167 seconds behind in second place.
David Alonso took third, followed by Alberto Ferrández and Daniel Muñoz to round out the top five.
Local favorite Collin Veijer of Red Bull KTM Ajo placed sixth with a time of 1'35.793, missing the top five by just one thousandth of a second.
The 21-year-old Dutch rider is competing in his home Grand Prix while managing a persistent right shoulder injury sustained three months ago during a crash at the Grand Prix of the Americas.
Veijer said the injury has caused ongoing pain, leading him to use painkillers during a race weekend for the first time in his career.
"I think that we should come a long way with painkillers. In training I do not suffer from it and then we are usually in a good position.
But in the race, tension is added naturally. You are also literally tensing more.
During a race I have never used painkillers before, because I am not really into that.
But I think I am going to try it anyway this weekend," Veijer said.
The Staphorst native has had an inconsistent Moto2 season, with a pole position and a podium in Spain but sits 11th in the championship after multiple crashes.
