They vary far too much from race to race, and while they may be setting lap records, they are hardly what I would call consistent and reliable. | |

They're reliably manipulated. If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks. |

The fallout from Argentina was a highly motivated Marquez hell bent on snuffing the championship. "Boring" races followed. Bad for business if your business is keeping 90% of viewers tuned in to see VR. Things have to be done in short order to slow down Marquez and prop up VR. Rather conveniently, VR's performance was boosted at Mugello with a "strange" allocation of front tires; the more things "change" the more they remain the same. If you live in a glass house don't throw rocks. |

He tested both the hard and medium tyres in practise and proffered the medium but the medium wasn't going to last race distance so he had to run the hard which he(and everyone else) didn't like.
