MADRID: MotoGP commercial rights holder Dorna Sports has confirmed that Michelin will remain the sole, official tyre supplier to the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup until at least 2024, extending a partnership that was flagged off with the inception of the electric motorcycle series in 2019.
Michelin’s racing DNA is already showcased by the company’s ongoing tenure as sole tyre supplier to the MotoGP class, which began in 2016, and their commitment to MotoE since the series began.
Michelin’s commitment to MotoE goes beyond competition, with the company achieving increased and ever-increasing sustainability in their MotoE tyres, including the use of recycled and bio-sourced materials. The front tyres are composed of 33% sustainable resources and the rear tyres 40%, including materials such as lemon and orange peel, pine resin, sunflower oil, worn car and truck tyres, and scrap steel.
This new agreement until 2024 strengthens the partnership between Dorna and Michelin yet further, maintaining the tyre brand’s presence across MotoGP, MotoE and the MotoGP eSport Championship, of which it was also a founding partner.
