After analysing data from the Misano test, Michelin has decided to postpone the introduction of a new front tyre originally intended for next season
Michelin has backtracked on its plans to introduce a new front tyre in MotoGP next year. Despite receiving a positive reaction from riders at the Misano test, Michelin has taken a conservative strategy and opted against introducing the new compounds in 2025. The news about the change of plans was communicated to teams on Friday ahead of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Taramasso revealed that Michelin already had an extensive test programme lined up for the remainder of 2024 and the early part of next year, which will help the manufacturer gain the data it needs to fine-tune the compound for racing conditions. “Looking at all these things, we at Michelin want to keep working and make a couple more changes to improve the product. We know we can do it without distorting it,” he said.
