In line with Bridgestone's philosophy of improving driver safety in races by improving tire heating and driver feeling, tire development over the winter focused on new soft rear tire specific for CRTs. Furthermore the Japanese have recently developed a new hard compound that is easier to use.

The new tire for the CRTs is the first that Brigdgestone has dedicated specifically to these bikes. The rubber has the same constitution as those used by the prototypes, but it will be softer to allow the bikes to work better. In the Sepang tests the CRT teams will test this tire and give their opinion to Bridgestone who, together with Dorna and the FIM, will decide whether or not to bring this tire to this year's races.

Another change that Bridgestone will bring to these tests is to the hard compound, which is slightly softer. This change was made to improve the performance of the hard tire in order to convince riders to use the hard tire even in the race. This new hard tire will be tested in these tests.
“In Sepang there will be 29 riders on track – said Hiroshi Yamada – Manager, Bridgestone Motorsport Department – 24 who will compete in the world championship plus 5 test riders, this means that despite the crisis, MotoGP is in good health and continues to develop. For us at Bridgestone this test will be very important in deciding the development of the tires we will take to the race this year. We are also looking for ways to make it easier to understand which tire the rider is using from home."

        Hey you, sympathy take me away… hehe ^^

        I think Vale will struggle right from the start to stay with Lore and Pedro, but he will probably be ahead of Marc…

        I say

        1Pedro
        2Lore
        3Valid
        4Marc
        5Bradl
        6Crutchlow

    @Testoner – Fatman

    Hey you two: aren't you two Vale Nazionale fans deep down and you just enjoy provoking us?

    Personally, as a layman compared to you two, I don't see him first or second on his debut...

    And, you will agree with me that if he made his debut first or second they would be bitter birds ;-) for everyone, psychologically...

    I hope that, as has often happened, you will take us but... immediately afterwards... We will nominate you as Honorary mascots/members.

    Luckily I go to bed and turn off the PC: as soon as you read the post you will send me some Macumbe that the sgnaranaus in comparison is a summer walk at dawn on the Riccione bathing area hahaha.

      ...of course I don't think we can talk about bitter birds... there are only four of them playing it... and then you canaries have to have a little something... in my opinion your nurse friend will do well at the beginning and after a little less... maybe I I'm wrong... in any case in a few years Marquez will get over his balls and let us have fun, at least you can do like me... live on (good) memories... well I'll go for a nice motorbike ride... I...

      As we wanted to demonstrate, Ducati is a great brand, but not a MotoGP.
      This year it will destroy the careers of its innocent drivers.
      Dovi takes almost three seconds at the moment, Spies and Iannone 3,5…

    Rossi first and Lorenzo fourth at two tenths. Two years at Ducati haven't affected him!
    In fact, now Marquez is first, damn but how good is this...
