Haha that's hilarious. The Michelin sticker with Bstones on the wheel. So what's the explanation? No seriously.Uh, looks like MM made his best lap on Michelingestone..?!
This is funny, but hey, like many things he does these days, probably that wasn't illegal!

He's not yet used to the way journos make headlines twisting one word here and one there. They make him utter big statements one way or the other that he never meant to say, on Marquez and Rossi of course. I'll tell him to come and post here, so that he gets some training!

Or when journalists on the occasion report the truth, which can also be a discomfort.He's not yet used to the way journos make headlines twisting one word here and one there.

Oh stop.
If anything, a good portion of us have been calling ........ on the ridiculous statements that have been made.

I would not be surprised if they all shook down the 2016 bikes that have the new ECU with the old tires first.
New bike, new ECU and new tire might have been one to many news out of the gate.

No official exlanation yet. Some member of the team said informally that they are "tires used only for bike transportation", whatever that means. Sounds like mirror climbing to me.

Bradley Smith had a good interview regarding how he went about testing the new elements. He said he took his 2015 standard bike and slapped on Michelins to understand the tires without having to deal with any other new variables. He said he gradually increased the pace to understand the tire characteristics. He said later he would try the new ECU, new bike, etc. But one variable at a time, and in isolation as best he can.

Well that would actually be a good explanation. Though I've seen teams use rain tires for that purpose.

In the morning, they put a set of wheels to take the bike outside to do morning warm-up and running gear test.
Marquez 's mechanics put the Bridgestone on.
Then HRC said they didn't have enough wheels for everybody,
Geez....if you're going to shortchange a team, don't do it to the one that has the most TV coverage.
To be clear, no Bridgestones were on the track today and the Bridgestones Era is done with. .

Tech3 have 2 new M1, today they ran the 2015 models for the riders to get used to the tires first.
No point risking crashing the new bikes.
Wednesday the new bikes will be out on the track.

I thought I read someplace that MM, JL & Rossi took the 2016 bikes out for like the last 15 minutes or so. I might have misunderstood what I read.
"If" they took the opportunity to ride the 2016 for the fist time, thought they might run the old tires first. No reason to go crazy on first ride.
