Pirelli Appoint New Road Racing Technician

Pirelli Tire has unveiled its new road racing technician: Chris Jensen of Denmark is set to join road racing manager Christoph Knoche in providing Pirelli rubber for North American road racing.

Jensen joins the Italian giant from Parts Unlimited, where he was for various lines a brand manager. He has also spent time as a mechanic in World Superbike and World Speedway. He describes joining Pirelli’s team as “like joining a rock band nearing the height of its career” in a Pirelli press release.

Knoche, Jensen’s new manager, added that, “We’re looking forward to Chris contributing greatly to the Pirelli experience. After two record-setting seasons of podium finishes in the AMA Superbike series we have high expectations for next year… Next year we plan on doing even better at every racetrack.”
