Just read on motoGP.com that FIAT yamaha will stay with michelin next year and that Lorenzo and Rossi will be team mates! Great news IMO. Hope that puts the control tyre speculation to rest!

was there really ever any doubt? ...... media hype thats all.


Agreed.

Keep your eye out for the coming announcement about the tire restrictions, too.

I'm guessing 3 sets added per weekend.

i think that the way to go, more tyres but no over nighters.
i dont think the over nighters were a bad thing, after all if bridgstone had got there finger out they could also have done this esp in the asain rounds. doesn't take long to fly them out, its just expensive.
after all stones now have the advantage because they get more data because they have more teams than michelin racing on there product.

Fiat Yamaha may stay on Michelin. But, Rossi has already said that allowing more tires won;t changes anything unless Michelin improves the QUALITY of their tires.
