Bridgestone issued its usual press release on Wednesday after the British Grand Prix, discussing the performance of their tires during the MotoGP weekend at Silverstone. No mention was made of the tire problems which beset Ben Spies and Casey Stoner, however:
British MotoGP™ debrief with Shinji Aoki
Silverstone, Wednesday 20 June 2012
Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Soft, Medium. Rear: Medium-soft, Medium (Asymmetric)
Bridgestone wet tyre compounds available: Soft (Main), Hard (Alternative)
Last weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone was a thrilling encounter where Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jorge Lorenzo claimed his third MotoGP™ win in a row ahead of the Repsol Honda duo of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa who placed second and third respectively.
After a cold and blustery start to the race weekend, weather conditions for Sunday’s race were more favourable with track temps in the mid 20°C mark, though some light drizzle as the riders lined up on the grid meant tyre choices for the race weren’t confirmed until moments before the action got underway.
