British MotoGP™ debrief with Shinji Aoki
Tuesday, September 1 2015

Bridgestone slick options: Front: Extra-soft, Soft & Medium; Rear: Soft, Medium & Hard (Asymmetric)
Bridgestone wet tyre options: Soft (Main), Hard (Alternative)

The 2015 British Grand Prix was won in dramatic style by Movistar Yamaha MotoGP’s Valentino Rossi who mastered the wet conditions at Silverstone to win ahead of Danilo Petrucci and Andrea Dovizioso.

A dry race was on the cards until a late change in the weather resulted in all riders riding into pit lane during the warm up lap to swap to their bikes fitted with wet tyres, resulting in race control deciding to restart the race. In the end all riders started and completed the race on the soft compound wet tyres front and rear as the rain continued for the full duration of the British Grand Prix.
