Piero Taramasso, Michelin Two-Wheel Motorsport Manager:
“With such a long and esteemed history of hosting top-level motorcycle racing, the Assen TT Circuit is one of the tracks that the riders, and our team, look forward to every year. Its ‘old school’ layout with a mix of long and fast, and banked corners means that the races are usually very exciting and I’m sure the lucky Dutch fans that can get a ticket won’t be disappointed this weekend. From a technical perspective, our 2021 Assen tire allocation for MotoGP has been developed to resist the very specific demands that will be placed on the tires by the number of corners and the brand new asphalt, to provide consistent grip and predictability for the riders throughout the race. In MotoE our tires will also offer the same performance characteristics, but they are designed to offer a quick warm-up to take into account the much shorter race distance in this class.”
