Gp Portugal, there's the Pirelli announcement

Pirelli has announced what tires it will supply to Moto2 and Moto3 riders at the Portuguese Grand Prix.

The centaurs in the intermediate class will have two rear tires at their disposal, both in soft compound: the range SC0 and the development specification E0125, which uses the same compound as the range solution but applied to a more advanced structure. The latter solution has already been carried in 9 GPs this year and, on seven occasions, was present in allocation with the range SC0 always winning the direct comparison between the two.

For Moto3 the standard allocation for this season is confirmed, the same one already used in 2024 and consisting of soft SC1 and medium SC2 as options for both axles in the amount of 8 pieces per rider for each front and rear compound. In the past edition of the GP in the race the drivers’ preferences were more or less equally divided between soft SC1 and medium SC2 at the rear while at the front the medium SC2 was clearly favored.

The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve is hosting the Portuguese Grand Prix for the sixth time since its debut on the MotoGP calendar in 2020. With the exception of the first year, in all other editions the GP has been contested in the first part of the year. The circuit is known for its ups and downs, fast corners and blind corners with a gradient that can reach 12 percent downhill and 6 percent uphill. The mix of long and fast corners, such as the’last curve to the right, generates high lateral and longitudinal loads on the tires, and hard braking on the downhill particularly engage the fronts.
