Pons Racing, one of the teams that is competing for the Moto2 World Championship, will be equipping J.Juan’s Thumbrake systems from the United Kingdom GP, which have given such good results in recent years.
The agreement allows both Aron Canet and Sergio Garcia Dols to have better control of the rear brake in the 12 remaining races. The thumbrake allows the rear brake to be controlled from the thumb of the left hand, without impeding or interfering with the brake pedal on the right foot, but sometimes, when the bike leans too much, the foot is removed from the pedal and the thumb is used to control the rear brake.
Pons Racing, one of the flagship teams of the World Championship, has shown itself to be very receptive to the collaboration and improvement of J.Juan’s system, which is not a substitute for the current system, but rather a safety complement for the drivers. With the support of the team, the Barcelona-based company’s brake systems can achieve significant improvements.
Sergio Garcia Dols is already a regular user of J.Juan’s systems since his beginnings, in premoto3 in the Spanish Championship, now called ESBK, as is Aron Canet who will try to reach the leadership of the competition in these last races.
For Giuseppe Micheletti, “it is an honour and a privilege to be able to interact with a Moto 2 team, such as Pons Racing, which is one of the emblems of the competition. We are proud to be one of its technical sponsors.”
For Edgar Pons, “The entire Pons Racing team is proud and excited to have JJuan’s support. We can therefore rely on all his experience and, at the same time, collaborate in his growth by improving and developing his products. Furthermore, it is an honour and a reason to celebrate to be able to work hand in hand with a neighbouring company, founded in Barcelona, with values both in the professional and personal spheres that make its trajectory unstoppable.”
J.Juan is the world leader in the manufacture of braided hydraulic hoses and the second largest European motorcycle brake manufacturer. It was founded in 1965 in Barcelona (Spain) and employs 640 people.
