LCR Honda rider Randy de Puniet and Pramac Racing’s Niccolo Canepa flew to the southern Spanish circuit of Almeria last week to support the media launch of Bridgestone’s Battlax BT-003 Racing Street hyper sports tyre.
This is the video of Niccolo Canepa trying out the tyres and what he had to say about them:“Almeria has all kinds of corners – fast, slow, chicanes, everything so it is very good to test the tyres here.
I am surprised with the level of grip from the BT-003RS as it’s not often I ride a road bike with road tyres and the level is very high.
You can lean the bike over very fast, and the lean angle is unbelievable for a street tyre.
The BT-003RS is very good – very progressive and you can feel the level of grip very well.
You can also push very hard on them – the front tyre especially is very good as you can enter corners very fast and the bike is very stable.
