Pirelli confirms for Brno the winning allocation from last season

· Allocation confirmed. For the Grand Prix of Czechia, scheduled for this weekend at the Automotodrom Brno, Pirelli is confirming for riders in the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes the tyre solutions that were successfully used last season. For the intermediate class, the available front compounds are soft SC1 and medium SC2, to be paired with the soft SC0 and medium D0922 development rear. The standard SC0 rear was the race benchmark last year, when it was introduced as development specification E0125, while the D0922 development specification was already made available to Moto2™ riders in 2025 at the Sachsenring, Brno and Phillip Island Grands Prix.

· Moto3™ allocation. Each Moto3™ rider will have 8 front tyres in soft SC1 compound and 8 in medium SC2 compound. For the rear, the allocation includes 8 soft SC1 units and 8 medium SC2 units. In 2025, the SC2 was the most widely used race solution on both axles.

· An excellent proving ground. The Brno circuit features a highly articulated layout, characterised by 14 corners in total, 8 right-handers and 6 left-handers, and 13 straights of varying lengths ranging from 35 to more than 636 metres. Corner radii between 50 and 300 metres create a combination of medium-to-high-speed sections and heavier braking zones, resulting in significant variations in the longitudinal and lateral loads acting on the tyre. The track also stands out for its total elevation change of 73.75 metres, with gradients reaching 7.5% uphill and 5% downhill.

Brno, a rather demanding track especially for the front end
 
“At 5.403 kilometres, Automotodrom Brno is one of the longest circuits on the Grand Prix calendar. Its layout stands out for its constant and sudden changes in elevation, with a sequence of heavy braking zones and hard acceleration areas that generate high thermal loads and a higher level of tyre wear than at other tracks.
The high demand for precision on corner entry places significant stress on the front end, particularly in the right-hand turns, making front tyre behaviour a decisive factor for stability and the feeling transmitted to the rider.
In the case of Moto2™, the data gathered at the previous edition show that the soft compounds ensured an adequate level of grip and consistency over race distance on both axles. Consequently, a similar trend can reasonably be expected this year, with the use of the rear SC0, already used at Brno in 2025 as development specification E0125, and the standard front SC1.
In Moto3™, on the other hand, the lighter bikes struggle more to bring the softer compounds up to temperature, with a resulting increase in wear. It is therefore likely that, in the race, the medium SC2 solution will be preferred on both axles, as already seen in 2025.”
