Bridgestone boost for Team SUZUKI MotoGP Team SUZUKI MotoGP racers John Hopkins and Kenny Roberts Jr enjoyed a successful test at Estoril in Portugal today as they put new construction Bridgestone race tyres through their paces. Just one day after the second round of the MotoGP World Championship was held at Estoril, the two Suzuki riders were back on track pushing the new Bridgestone tyres to their limits on their GSV-R prototype race bikes. Clocking consistently fast lap times, both riders praised the performance of the new Bridgestone rubber. Tom O’Kane, Chief Technician to Kenny Roberts Jr, said: “The new Bridgestone tyres seem to be a step forward. The riders found improvements in many areas, including endurance and drive grip. Bridgestone will now put the new tyres into production for us.”
