Pirelli will use two development tyres at this weekend’s Wo꧟rldSBK Italian Round, both of which have been previously used.

The two development tyres both made their debut at a WorldSBK round at Magny-Cours two weeks ago. They are a dry 𝐆front SC1 in D0715 specification, and a dry SCX rear i𓆉n D0820 specification.

The development SC1 front has a different construction compared to the stan♑dard version, and the development SCX rear has a different cওompound compared to standard.

Despite Cremona being a new additi𒈔on to the WorldSBK calendar, Pirelli Motorcycle Racing Director Giorgio Barbier says it provides “a great opportunity” to continue understanding and evaluating the new tyres.

"The Cremona round is a great opportunity to get further feedback on the two development solutions intro🌠duced at Magny-Cours — the front SC1 in D0715 specification and the rear SCX in D0820 specification — taking advantage of the fact that the riders still have the sensations they ha✱d in France and can put them to the test on a different track,” Barbier said.

“Such a close comparison is very useful for us to consolidate data on new solutions and define future develop🍬ment. Having received positive feedback from the riders at their first contact with the new options, we also felt it was important to give the teams some continuity, so as to offer them a good choice on a circuit that has some unknowns.”

Focussing more specifically on the Cremona Circuit itself, Barbier re☂flected on the tests carried o♛ut at the Italian venue earlier this year.

“Cremona is in fact a circuit that we know well, if only because it is located an hour's drive from o📖ur headquarters in Milan,” Barbier said, “but we have never raced there with the Superbikes of the World Championship and, in preparꦯation for this important event, it has undergone considerable improvements.

“Already in the two tests that were carried out, one in mid-M🐽ay and the other in mid-June, we found that the track, as often happens in these cases, still needs a bit of break-in to reach the optimal level of grip.

“This means that in the first sessions we could witness accentuated wear and tear that will then fall within the parameters we are used to over the weekeꦏnd, as tཧhe track cleans and rubbers."
