<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Anders GUZZI @ Aug 12 2008, 06:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>With spec tires the tires would hopefully in the future be underpreforming and it would bring out rider skills.
Tire management seems to be yet another factor that has been removed. Guys are often times doing their fastest laps towards the end of the race. Either the riders have very impressive skills at riding on worn out tires, the tires are just that good that they last, or the electronics system is assisting in both the longevity of the tire and its performance towards race end. Most likely of course a combination of all three. I still want to see a spec tire.
