The Mo🔥toGP tyre rules are to be tweaked, following an announcement from the Grand Prix Commission that the number of hard and soft front tyres will no longer need to be the same from June 24 onwards.

At present, the eight front tyres available to each rider are splitꦫ equally between "4 of Specification "A" + 4 of Specification "B" = 8", meaning four of the softer compou💎nd and four of the harder compound.

However, from Assen (round seven) onwards, teams will be al🦄lowed🐬 to decide how many of each compound they would like. The choices available being:

3 of specification "A" + 5 of specification "B", or:
4 of specification "A" + 4 of specification "B", or:
5 of specification "A" + 3 of specification "B".

"During the preceding Grand Prix (or the official test organised by Dorna/IRTA, in case of the first Grand Prix), the tyre supplier will info🅠rm the teams of the two front tyre specifications that will be available for the next Grand Prix," said the 🐷statement.

"Teams must inform the tyre su𓄧pplier of the number of each front slick specification required no later than 2 hours after the MotoGP race finish of this preceding Grand Prix (or 2 hours after the end of the final session of the officia🦄l test, in case of the first Grand Prix). This allocation request will be final and no changes are permitted after this time."

The change has been made to help riders who have been unable to effectively use one or other compound🔜. They wiꦿll now be able to have more of their preferred option.

The rear tyre allocation will remain unchanged, consisting of "6 of Specification "A" + 6 of Specification "B𝔍" ".

2009 is the first seaꦍson of single-tyr✨e MotoGP competition. All tyres are supplied by Bridgestone.
