All of Brembo's numbers for the 2015 MotoGP Championship

In 2015 all 18 MotoGP races were won by bikes equipped with Brembo brakes. But this, fortunately for us, is no longer anything new. Just as it is nothing new for us to have taken all 54 podium finishes of the season in the top category.

But the goal we never thought we would achieve, especially in a championship where everyone has free selection of their braking system supplier, was sweeping all the points. As you certainly know, for each race the first 15 riders to finish are awarded points.  This is not the way it has always been because in 1949 only the first 5 earned points, whereas in 1992 only the first 10 finishers in each GP had the chance to improve their position in the standings.

With 25 or 26 riders on the grid for each GP, the odds that the only bike in the race without Brembo brakes would not place in the top 15 at least once are extremely low:  based on our calculations there was a 1.6 percent chance. And yet, this is exactly what happened because all 2,520 points awarded in the 2015 MotoGP season went to bikes fitted with Brembo brakes.

What's more, the bikes with Brembo brakes proved their worth even on race weekend Saturdays: all the bikes that went through to compete in the 2015 Q2 sessions had Brembo braking systems. This is a sign of the impressive performance of Brembo brakes in qualifying, where many riders pull out all the stops and ride at breakneck speeds in order to put the best possible times on the boards.
