Dorna Sports has recently announced that MotoGP and FIM Enel MotoE World Cup tyre supplier Michelin will be the title sponsor for the Gran Premio de Aragon in 2020. The Grand Prix, taking place from 16th to the 18th of October, will therefore be named the Gran Premio Michelin de Aragon.

Michelin has been the official tyre supplier to the premier class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing since 2016.

The collaboration has created some of the closest racing ever seen in MotoGP. This new title sponsor agreement serves to add another vital facet to a relationship between MotoGP and Michelin that has been defined by shared success.
