Pirelli brings two new tyres to Barcelona

· Tyre allocation: in addition to the new tyres already mentioned above, WorldSBK riders will have standard SC1 and SC2 at the front and SCX and SC0 at the rear available, beside the SCQ exclusively intended for the Superpole and Superpole Race. The choice narrows in WorldSSP, where riders will be able to choose between SC1 and SC2 for the front and SCX and SC0 for the rear. · Lap times: In last week's testing, WorldSBK riders consistently ran times in line with 2023 best race lap times, also beating the all-time lap record. If the weather conditions remain similar, it is likely that times will drop further during the race weekend, as track conditions improve and the teams finalise their setup.· Weather: so far the championship has visited Montmelò in September and May but never in March; therefore, the weather conditions could represent an unknown. Lower temperatures and the possibility of rain could have an impact on the work in preparation for the race, although the recent tests should have provided important elements to finalise the setup and make the tyres work as well as possible.· Young riders at the start: the Catalan round will also see the kick off of the season for the young promises taking part in the FIM Supersport 300 World Championship, of which Pirelli has been the sole supplier since its inception in 2017, and in the R3 bLU cRU FIM World Cup.Further details on tyre allocation are available in the technical sheets attached to this press release.
