Pirelli brings a new Moto2™ rear tyre to the German GP

· Expanded allocation: in Moto2™, in addition to the standard allocation, riders will have four SC3 (hard) tyres available for the front, while for the rear, in addition to the eight units of SC0 (soft), there will be eight D0532 development specification tyres and four pieces of SC3 (hard). Consequently, Moto2™ riders will be allowed to use 9 front and 10 rear tyres over the weekend instead of the 8 and 9 usually allowed by the regulations. In Moto3™, there is only one additional specification compared to the standard allocation: the development hard in C1096 specification, in 4 units per rider. With one extra specification, riders in this class will be able to use 1 extra rear (10 instead of 9) compared to the standard allowance. As always, in case of rain, there will be for both classes the DIABLO Rain solution in SCR1 compound for both front (5 units) and rear (6 units).  · Wear and temperatures: the 3,671-metre Sachsenring is the shortest circuit in the World Championship. Travelled anti-clockwise, it has 10 left-hand corners and 3 right-hand ones: a disparity, this, which translates into particularly accentuated stress on the left side of the tyres and the difficulty of bringing the right shoulder up to temperature. In this regard, a key point is turn 11, called Waterfall, a downhill right-hand corner, taken at high speed, which comes after six left-hand corners. Coming into this section, the tyre may have lost several degrees of temperature on the right shoulder. · Braking and fast corners: of the three most important points for braking, Turn 1, the first after the 800-metre-long start straight, is the most severe and also the one where the riders appreciate the front tyre support the most, as it is the point where many of the overtaking attempts take place. This corner leads downhill into the twisty part of the track, a fast series of six bends where stability and precision are paramount. · Northern Talent Cup: for the first time this year, the promising young riders of the Northern Talent Cup will share the Sachsenring track with the riders of the World Championship, for their fifth race of the season. Pirelli is the sole tyre supplier for this championship, which is part of the Road to MotoGP™ project promoted by Dorna. The bikes are equipped with DIABLO Superbike slick tyres in sizes 100/70 R17 at the front and 120/70 R17 at the rear, in SC2 compound. For the rain, on the other hand, the same sizes for the front but 125/70 R17 at the rear, and SCR1 compound.
