Pirelli explains 2014 eni FIM Superbike World Championship tyre allocations

Pirelli, the sole supplier to the 2014 eni FIM Superbike World Championship has explained the tyre allocations for the forthcoming season.

Pirelli has explained the changes following the introduction of the EVO Superbike class and the new format for qualifying, plus its contribution to make the competition balanced and compelling
The brand will actively contribute to make the competition even more compelling for the 2014 season, which kicks off in two weeks in Australia.

The new season is rich in activities and changes in terms of the regulations with the introduction of the new EVO Superbike class and a new format for the free practice sessions timed for qualifying.
The goal of the tyre manufacturer is to try to reduce the gap to EVO Superbike, which differs from Superbike for horsepower, electronics and engine set-up, providing an opportunity to the fastest riders in this class to be competitive in the races, and consequently, to make the Championship more balanced and compelling.

The data from this year relating to the behaviour of the EVO Superbikes, will also be important in respect to 2015 when the grid of the premier class will be entirely comprised of only EVO Superbikes.
