Soft, medium and hard blends are available in the foreground. Compared with last year, the three-wheel structure has been slightly strengthened.
MotoGP: Acosta is back
After Pedro Acosta dislocated his left shoulder in the Australian Sprint and had to miss Sunday, he is now feeling better. Doctors declared him fit, but he will be checked again after the first training session.
Lorenzo Savadori also represents Miguel Oliveira at Trackhouse. He had to abandon Sunday's race in Australia because he was experiencing severe pain in his left arm. While running, he was hit in the arm by a piece of debris. He is feeling better and has been declared fit. Savadori is driving in Thailand for the first time since 2019. At the time he was competing in the World Superbike Championship.
