Shaun Simpson and Arnaud Tonus will run factory Dunlop Geomax tyres for their 2017 MXGP campaign after their Wilvo Yamaha team clinched a deal with the tyre giant.

Dunlop’s Eddy Seel said: “I’m really happy to have Wilvo Yamaha with us for next season. Shaun has shown us that he can win GPs and Arnaud is back from the US to show how he can ride in the MXGP class. We will give them our best products to achieve the best results.”
