A new season is dawning and once more, the MotoGP™ teams and riders will be pushing for glory with Michelin’s trusty rubber beneath them – starting in Qatar. The result is forming a new range that is simpler and made up of fewer reference tyres, but which are more versatile and more consistent. – The two riders progressing through Q1 to Q2 will be allocated one additional Slick front and rear tyre, which can be any of the three compounds. RAIN TYRES:- The standard allocation is 13 tyres (six front, seven rear) with a choice of both Soft and Medium. In addition, if both Q1 and Q2 are declared wet, the additional tyres allocated will be Rain tyres, compromising one front and one rear of the rider’s preferred specification.
