This weekend’s Portimao MotoGP requires “a tyre that can do everything”, according to Michelin.
Michelin is confident that the tyre allocation from last year will be suitable for the challenge of the Portimao MotoGP event, now set for November 2025.
The decision to maintain the same tyre options was based on data and feedback gathered during the 2024 event.
Michelin’s two-wheel motorsport manager expressed great confidence and motivation for the upcoming race at the demanding Portimao circuit.
The technical challenge posed by the circuit includes heavy downhill braking, fast corners, acceleration zones, and critical traction sections.
