You have to be prepared for any eventuality. This year, an unknown has been added, that of the resurfacing of the track. We thus arrive with very few elements, even if we were able to glean some information, but it’s not like working from race data or tests on a new surface, which is why when Dorna asked us to set the tire allocation at the start of the year, we had a fourth option planned. slick tires front and rear for Argentina to give the riders every chance to find the best combinations of tires for this circuit according to their riding and their bike. We believe that with the experience accumulated since our return on a motorcycle GP we have the tires best suited to the Termas circuit and we hope to see excellent lap times this weekend ".
