Dunlop has signed a a three-year contract extension with Dorna Sports that will see the Moto2 and Moto3 World Championships continue racing on its tyres until at least the end of the 2023 season.

The firm has been a long-standing partner of the MotoGP paddock since the World Championship’s inception in 1949. As the most successful tyre company in the history of the 250cc and 125cc categories, having won 17 titles in 250cc, Dunlop became the exclusive tyre supplier of Moto2 and Moto3 when the new classes were founded to replace the 250cc and 125cc classes.

“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Dorna Sports to remain the exclusive tyre supplier to the Moto2 and Moto3 World Championships for at least another three years,” said Dunlop head cheese Ben Hoge.

“Both series are integral to Dunlop Motorsport’s activities and allow us to develop technology for our expanding range of road and track tyres. Dorna Sports has an excellent platform for finding and supporting the star riders of tomorrow and we’re excited to remain a part of it.”
