Jeremy McWilliams: Bridgestone S20 onboard lap

FORMER GP rider Jeremy McWilliams was at the launch of Bridgestone's new premium sports tyre, the Battlax S20.

The S20 has been designed by Bridgestone for sports riders, who ride in all conditions but also want a tyre suited to trackdays. The S20 has a larger contact patch than the BT-016 Pro and Bridgestone claims it features fast warm-up characteristics without sacrificing mileage performance.

We can't tell you about the mileage yet, but if you want to check out the tyre's grip, who better to take you for a lap around Portimao than former GP rider, Jeremy McWilliams? Here he's riding a stock BMW S1000RR with the traction control switched off, fitted with the new S20 tyre running track pressures.
