Bridgestone brings harder wearing front slicks to Aragon MotoGP
In 2010, the Motorland Aragon circuit in the north-east of Spain represented a new challenge for Bridgestone, holding its first premier class motorcycle Grand Prix; this year the tyre supplier, the teams and the riders all have the benefit of last year’s data to call upon. Hiroshi Yamada, manager, Bridgestone Motorsport Department explains: “there was a lot of good feedback from everybody in the paddock. I am pleased that we are going back this year as it is an exciting and quite dramatic circuit, and with the benefit of last year’s experience not only is our job easier as we do not need to conduct more scientific analysis of the circuit and its tarmac, but we can also be very confident of our tyre compound choices.”
