----------------- As is the case after every race weekend, Bridgestone today issued their post-race debrief press release, with the Japanese tire company's view of the weekend.

With this in mind, Bridgestone brought a new rear tire to be tested at Barcelona on Monday, and Aoki explains Bridgestone goal with this new rear tire. The press release appears below: Catalan MotoGP™ debrief with Shinji Aoki Thursday 20 June 2013 Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Medium & Hard.
