Isle of Man TT victories for Dunlop and Yokohama - McGuinness wins Senior, Crowe/Cox victorious twice in Sidecar class

摘要

Public road racing plays an integral part in the development of Dunlop's motorcycle tyres, and the British manufacturer's 'Race to Road' philosophy is one that facilitates the delivery of the best race-derived technology to consumers. The recent Isle of Man TT race, an event considered by some to be the most notorious public road racing event in the world, is for Dunlop the perfect testing ground for the company's tyres -and recent results suggest the manufacturer has passed the test with flying colours. Yokohama also experienced similar success, with two wins for Nick Crowe in the Sidecar class bringing the Japanese tyre manufacturer's string of success on the island to 15 consecutive years. Yokohama comments that not only did the winner of both races feature its tyres, so did the full podium for each race, as well as two thirds of the runners in the class.
