GP, tests and debut in the FIM MotoGP™ Rookies Cup

· Historical circuit: inaugurated in 1986, it hosted the first GP the following year and has continued to do so uninterruptedly from 1989 to today. In 2018 it was named in memory of Ángel Nieto. Jerez, like Assen, is considered by many riders to be a reference circuit because it presents a series of low, medium and fast speed corners that are technically ideal for fine-tuning the bike, which is why, as well as for the strategic position that allows it to be exploited even in the colder months, it is often chosen to carry out tests.

· Layout: the track is 4423 meters long, of which approximately 70% are straight while the remaining 30% are curves. The finishing straight measures just over 600 meters with a width of 12 meters which becomes 11 meters in the rest of the track. Thirteen curves in total, five on the left and eight on the right with a radius of curvature that varies from 30 meters of curves 2, 6 and 13 to 116 meters of curve 4. The maximum gradient is 5.1% on the main straight while the maximum gradient is 5% at the exit of curve 5. The maximum lateral slope is recorded at the exit of curves 2, 6 and 13 and is equal to 7.46%, the minimum is 4.70% at curves 4 and 12.

· Difficulty for tires: the curves are very varied and you brake in all of them except for number 3 which is very fast. Even if the lateral loads generated during the journey are not very high, in order to cope with the different needs of the track (fast sections alternating with slow corners, some of which are steep) a rear tire with a good balance of handling, support and and support in lean while the fronts are involved in some important braking, in particular at turn 6, the most difficult of all. The asphalt has a good level of grip and is not particularly aggressive.

· Allocation for MotoGP™ Rookies Cup: each driver will be able to use a maximum of 4 sets of SC2 compound dry tires on both the front and rear. In case of rain they can use SCR1 wet solutions.
