Bridgestone celebrates 200th MotoGP™ in Misano

After more than a decade at the pinnacle of motorcycle racing, Bridgestone celebrated the 200th MotoGP™ Grand Prix run on Bridgestone tyres. Since winning its first MotoGP™ World Championship in 2007 and becoming the sport’s first exclusive tyre supplier in 2009, the 2013 Misano Grand Prix represents yet another milestone in a long and proud association with MotoGP™.

Bridgestone’s 200th Grand Prix was marked with the second edition of the prestigious Bridgestone Photo Competition. After the inaugural edition in honour of Bridgestone’s 100th MotoGP™ victory in 2012, this year’s theme followed the spirit of Bridgestone’s new “Everywhere” campaign, evoking the spontaneity and excitement of travel.

The top 3, selected by a panel of experts, were announced during the awards ceremony on Friday 13th September. Congratulations to Bor Dobrin whose winning picture perfectly captures the emotion and passion of Marc Marquéz’s first ever win in MotoGP™ at this year’s United States Grand Prix. This picture is not only a celebration of an individual rider’s victory, but also a testament to the importance of having a strong, supportive team. The top 20 entries were on display during the Grand Prix at the Motor Home in Misano and can be found on www.bridgestonenewsroom.eu.

Bridgestone’s 200th MotoGP™ Grand Prix is a testament to the tyre manufacturer’s on-going passion for riding, innovation and precision. Indeed, Bridgestone is already looking forward to helping carry  the pinnacle of motorcycle racing to even greater heights.
