On the race day, depending on the weather conditions, one extra front<br />
and one extra rear intermediate tyre may be distributed by the official tyre<br />
supplier. These tyres may be used at the rider’s discretion only during the<br />
race and provided that the race has been declared wet by the Race Director.<br />
Intermediate tyres must be clearly identified by the Official Supplier.<br />
The wet-weather tyres must be provided by the Official Supplier, but their use on<br />
the track is unrestricted.<br />
Wet-weather tyres may only be used after the race or practice has been declared<br />
‘wet’ by the Race Direction.<br />
Any modification or treatment (cutting, grooving) is forbidden.<br />
The tyres used in the free practices, qualifying practices, warm-up and race must<br />
be marked with an adhesive sticker.<br />
The sticker will show an identification number for each rider and it will have a<br />
different colour depending on whether it is applied to the front or rear tyre. At each<br />
race the <strong>FIM</strong> <strong>Superbike</strong> Technical Director will assign a number of his choice to the<br />
competitor, while the colours will change for each race.<br />
The stickers will be handed to the teams in a sealed envelope, 4 for the rear<br />
tyres and 4 for the front tyres, on the day before the first practice session in<br />
accordance with a timetable decided by IMS and the <strong>FIM</strong> <strong>Superbike</strong> Technical<br />
Director. The timetable will be mailed to the teams by the IMS at least a week<br />
before the event. In extraordinary situations the <strong>FIM</strong> <strong>Superbike</strong> Technical Director<br />
can/may alter this program.<br />
After delivery of the stickers, the teams will be responsible for their safekeeping<br />
and use.<br />
The stickers must be applied to the left sidewall of the tyre. Personnel nominated<br />
by the <strong>FIM</strong> <strong>Superbike</strong> Technical Director will check that all the motorcycles in the<br />
pit line are fitted with tyres carrying the sticker.<br />
The use of motorcycles with unmarked tyres (e.g. without the official stickers) will<br />
be immediately reported to the Race Direction which will take appropriate action.<br />
