The two scorching hot Grand Prix races on the Jerez track have been archived and MotoGP is on its way to the Czech Republic. The Michelin technicians shouldn’t expect any big surprises this time, because the race was confirmed on the original date.
The Czech circuit will be a great testing ground for the new rear tires, with a design that alternates uphill and downhill, as well as excellent braking and acceleration. According to the regulations, three options are available: soft, medium and hard compounds with a symmetrical construction for the front axle and an asymmetrical one (the right side is harder) for the rear axle.
When it rains, rain tires have soft and medium compounds (also in this case with symmetrical front and asymmetrical rear axles).
“Brno is usually the track we go to after the summer break, so it will be unusual to be there as the second track of the season.” Piero Taramasso, Michelin’s manager for the Competitive Fields, commented. “All the health protocols that worked very well in Jerez are still in force in Brno. Good show for all fans watching from home.”
“We had a good start to the season in Spain. We broke some records and the new tires did very well under extreme conditions, ”continued Traramasso.Brno is a wide stretch and with a lot of accelerations. It takes a lot of grip from behind to give the riders the best possible traction. With this in mind, our new rear tires are designed to be nice to see in action on a track that is ideal for their characteristics. “
