This year, Moto2 and Moto3 have new tyres, with Dunlop now replaced by Pirelli as the exclusive supplier. The first experience in competition was last weekend at the Qatar GP. And, naturally, sharing the track with MotoGP, there can always be an influence on the track condition for the premier class.
When asked if the rubber from the new tyres in the support categories made any difference, Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM) said it’s too early to draw conclusions. However, he didn’t fail to praise the on-track spectacle of Moto2 and Moto3:
– The track felt pretty good from the get-go. There was still some rubber down, let’s say. It’s hard to say if it is better or worse, too early to tell. At least from the spectators point of view I think the Moto2 and Moto3 races were pretty impressive to watch, I enjoyed.
