PIRELLI WILL BECOME the official, exclusive tyre supplier to the Moto2 and Moto3 classes from 2024 to 2026 inclusive. This new three-year agreement, currently being finalised, will see the Italian tyre marque become an integral part of the lightweight and intermediate classes of Grand Prix racing, a media release said.
Pirelli already has a long legacy as the sole supplier for all classes of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship and now extends their two-wheeled portfolio to include Moto2 and Moto3, the strongest feeder classes in global motorsport. Pirelli will supply their DIABLO Superbike slick tyres to both classes, reflecting a choice in line with Pirelli’s philosophy ‘We sell what we race, we race what we sell’.
Thanks to this agreement, Moto2 and Moto3 will become an important driver for the further enhancement of the Pirelli brand in terms of both commercial growth and technological development. The MotoGP paddock offers the best racing laboratory on two wheels, ensuring the sport continues to drive innovation in safety, performance and sustainability that reaches real customers on the street, the release said.
The deal also extends across the Road to MotoGP as Pirelli become the official and sole tyre supplier for all classes of the Finetwork FIM JuniorGP World Championship, the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup, the Northern Talent Cup and the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, joining their established commitment to the FIM MiniGP World Series. Unrivalled in motorsport, the Road to MotoGP is a global talent promotion initiative opening doors and widening access to motorcycle racing across the world, the release added.
