Dunlop has signed a three-year extension to its Moto3 and Moto2 tyre supply deal with MotoGP promoters Dorna which carries it through to the end of 2020.
As well as this new three-year agreement to continue as official tyre supplier, Dunlop will also continue to promote the unique #ForeverForward Award, which rewards the rider who has made the most overtakes during a season across both categories.
In 2017, the winner was Moto3’s Italian GP winner Andrea Migno, who gained a record-breaking 137 positions over 18 Grands Prix.
“We are proud to continue our long and successful relationship with Dorna in Moto2 and Moto3. We are constantly pushing forward and bringing new technologies to the sport, said Xavier Fraipont, Managing Director of Dunlop Motorcycle and Motorsport EMEA.
"Indeed, we introduced a brand-new specification of Moto2 tyre at Valencia for the final round of the 2017 season and this was chosen by the race winner, Miguel Oliveira. Top level motorcycle racing allows us to test and develop new constructions and compounds. We then apply the learnings to our award winning tyres such as the Dunlop SportSmart MAX and the new SportSmart TT.”
