Pedro Acosta feels Michelin needs to step in and address the 'strange' tyre vibrations after being affected by the problem again in the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix.
Rear chatter has become a recurring problem in MotoGP this year, with Ducati riders being particularly outspoken about the issue since the opening round of the season in Qatar. Tech3 GasGas rookie Acosta hasn't been spared of chattering either and once encountered the vibrations on his rear tyre at Jerez as he finished a distant 10th, his worst result in the premier class so far.
' Acosta wasn't the only KTM rider to suffer from chattering at Jerez, with Jack Miller's race also being compromised by the same problem. 'The limiting factor for me was the vibration, on the entry to Turn 4, 7, and 8 a little bit,' said the Australian. 'All the corners I wanted to let the bike roll or forward in quite fast, it kind of starts vibrating from the rear like a lateral slide and you have to wait for the vibration to settle before you can start to come out.
