Michelin officially confirms new minimum front tyre pressure for the 2024 MotoGP season, new post-race time penalties revealed.
MotoGP have confirmed that breaching tyre pressure rules this season will result in a much harsher post-race time penalty, but not disqualification.
Michelin has officially reduced the mandatory minimum front tyre pressure from 1.88 to 1.80 bar for the 2024As reported in our interview with Cecchinelli, the move has been made in response to rider concerns over front locking and other grip issues due to rising temperature and pressure when closely following other bikes in a race.
However, the significance of the change remains to be seen, with some riders having hoped for a 1.7 or even 1.6 bar minimum.To compensate for the lower pressure, riders are now expected to meet the minimum for at least 60% of the grand prix race laps, rather than the 50% last season. 30% is still required for a Sprint.
