Link International and Pirelli are pleased to advise that tyres can now be ordered for the support races of the upcoming round of the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island October 16-18.

With the weekend of 3-4 October seeing the final round of the Australian Superbike Championship at the Phillip Island circuit and the 2015 Superbike championship already successfully claimed by Pirelli rider Mike Jones (Australian Outdoor Living Cube Racing Kawasaki ZX10R), momentum is building for the Moto GP Support races at the same circuit in a fortnight’s time for local riders in the Superbike and Supersport classes.

Pirelli will provide all riders who choose to race on the Italian brand with World Superbike developed tyres for this weekend’s ASBK event and also the MotoGP Support races. In the Superbikes class, in addition to SC1 and SC2 front Diablo Superbike 120/70 R-17, Pirelli will make available on the rear 200/60 R-17 SC0, SC1 and SCX 1633 tyres to all competitors who choose to race with Pirelli, with the latter developed specifically for the demanding Phillip Island circuit and used in the World Superbike races as well as local support races for race victories earlier in 2015. Special pricing is also available to competitors for the Moto GP Support races.

In the Supersport class, the World Supersport developed Diablo Supercorsa SC range will be used by all Pirelli riders in 120/70ZR-17 SC1 and SC2 front , while on the rear three choices will be available in the 180/60ZR-17 size specifically for the 600 class, with SC0, SC1 and SC2 available to all riders.
