Superstock 1000 and 600 support classes in the MCE British Superbike series will switch from Metzeler to Pirelli rubber for 2013.

Pirelli will provide Diablo Supercorsas for the two Stock classes which join the Superbike class on the Italian tyres while the Triumph Triple Challenge will also sport the big P.

"We’re proud to increase Pirelli’s involvement in the British Superbike series to the Superstock and Triumph Triple Challenge classes for 2013,cementing our reputation as the premium tyre manufacturer in UK Racing," said Jim Worland, Pirelli Marketing manager.

"All three of these classes have produced fantastic racing and give great opportunities for young riders such as Keith Farmer to progress through the levels of British Bikesport.

"Our Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tyres are well proven in the British Supersport Championship and we will be monitoring their progress through these other classes. Throughout the classes all the way up to BSB, crucially our tyres are available for any rider to buy for road racing or trackdays.”
