[visordown.com] - Bridgestone increase tyre allocation in MotoGP





BRIDGESTONE have announced that they will be expanding their tyre allocation from two compound options to three as well as increasing the number of tyres at each MotoGP race weekend.

After several issues regarding tyre wear over race distance, Bridgestone are now allowing MotoGP riders to choose from three different compounds as well as the use of ten front slick tyres instead of just nine.

The decision has been made after the Argentine Grand Prix last weekend as Bridgestone introduced three front slick options which was greatly appreciated by the GP riders.

Bridgestone's Hiroshi Yamada said: “This change to the front slick tyre allocation will give riders greater choice at each race weekend, and will ensure that we have a tyre allocation that can manage any weather or track conditions encountered.

“MotoGP machines are becoming ever more demanding on tyres, with improved lap times and a greater variety in the performance characteristics between bikes, so an increased front tyre allocation will benefit everybody.

“Following the positive experience with the expanded front slick allocation at the Argentina Grand Prix, Bridgestone proposed to offer three front slick compound options to riders for the entire MotoGP season, and the FIM and Dorna have agreed to implement this change.”

The new front tyre allocation will take immediate effect and therefore will start at the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez this weekend.
