Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Soft, Medium, Hard. Rear: Soft, Medium (Asymmetric)
Bridgestone wet tyre compounds available: Soft (Main), Hard (Alternative)

Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa won for the second consecutive time at Motegi in a race that saw an all-Spanish podium with Yamaha Factory Racing’s Jorge Lorenzo and San Carlo Honda Gresini’s Alvaro Bautista placing second and third respectively.

Weather conditions over the whole weekend were excellent with sunny dry conditions and track temperatures around the thirty degree Celsius mark allowing riders to assess all the slick tyre options during practice and qualifying. With optimal track conditions for the race and plenty of time to refine a dry setup, tyre choice for Sunday’s race was uniform across the whole grid with the harder front slick used in combination with the softer rear slick.
