Bridgestone has issued their customary post-race debrief after the Dutch TT at Assen. In this edition of the press release, Bridgestone talk about how tires designed to work under heat-resistant conditions functioned in Assen, and about testing tires at the new Argentinian track at Termas de Rio Hondo. The press release appears below:
Dutch MotoGP™ debrief with Masao Azuma

Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Extra-soft & Soft. Rear: Soft, Medium-soft & Medium (Asymmetric)
Bridgestone wet tyre compounds available: Soft (Main), Hard (Alternative)
Yamaha Factory Racing’s Valentino Rossi claimed his 80th premier class victory after winning last Saturday’s Dutch TT ahead of Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez and Monster Yamaha Tech3’s Cal Crutchlow.
Following a very hot race at the previous round at Montmeló, weather conditions at Assen were at the other end of the spectrum, with cool and at times, wet conditions occurring over the race weekend. Thankfully, fine weather prevailed on Saturday, with a dry circuit and a track temperature of 32°C recorded during the twenty-six lap race. This year marked the first time Bridgestone supplied heat-resistant ‘Special Construction’ rear slicks for the Dutch TT.
