From a press release issued by Bridgestone:

BRIDGESTONE MAKES PRESENCE KNOWN IN USGPRU 125 GP

As the checkered flag fell on the USGPRU 125 GP final at Daytona on Sunday, four of the top five riders were racing on Bridgestone rain tires. Heavy rains just prior to the start of Sunday’s FUSA final events made it a guessing game for tire choices as the skies began to clear slightly and the track started to dry. Most 125 GP riders chose rain tires to tackle the high banks.

At the end of the nine lap final, Bridgestone rain tires brought four of the top five riders across the line. Stewart Aitken-Cade fought his way to a second place, a young Scott Jackson earned third, Samantha Cotter came on strong for fourth and Mark Johnson finished fifth.

Bridgestone is proud to be a new contingency sponsor with the USGPRU and congratulates their talented riders for a fine showing at Daytona!
