Some time ago there was a suggestion that more tyre choices were going to be introduced so that the CRT teams would have more appropriate tyre choices, rather than having to pick from two choices chosen really to give the prototypes a choice.   Did anything happen with that?

that's just diabolical https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150886068181386&set=a.100104521385.100444.97690951385&type=1&permPage=1

what are the major criterias for the selection of tyres in the motogp and wsbk? am a newbie here.pls give info. thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I am just drawing your attention to a Race used, signed front tyre used by the late, great Steve "Hizzy" Hislop. The tyre was used in Race 1 of the Oulton Park 2001 British Superbike Championship meeting, a race won by Steve Hislop. The tyre is also signed by Steve himself. Please...

I have been thinking about the performance of the Bridgestone Tyre and how it has impacted racing in the last 2-3 years. In many respects the Bridgestone control tyre can be considered to be an almost perfect tyre. It operates on 18 different circuits each year. It seems to suit a large...

Monday's Jerez testing saw Bridgestone pull out a new front tyre. I can only find that Rossi tested this new tyre. I may be wrong on this so I invite a correction but if it was only Rossi then this is a concern. If Bridgestone are developing an updated control tyre then they should be giving...

The MotoGP tyre rules are to be tweaked, following an announcement from the Grand Prix Commission that the number of hard and soft front tyres will no longer need to be the same from June 24 onwards. At present, the eight front tyres available to each rider are split equally between "4 of...

Ok perhaps I should sit and read up on every rule that is thrown at the riders etc. But please someone explain it, I've missed the first 3 races - through no fault of my own and want of trying. But football took presidance at one house and the firstrace, well, after begging and pleading with the...

Ok i knows it a mcn article but that aside...are the control tyres as consistant as they should be? i was thinking since qatar there have been complaints about some tyres not working the same as the previous selection, i know things come into play like changes in the track/temps, weather and...

i have to agree anyone? linky: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/71014 Valentino Rossi's chief engineer, Jerry Burgess, believes MotoGP's decision to become a single tyre formula next season is a mistake. The Grand Prix Commission announced the rule change at Motegi on Sunday...

Always a NO for me.

Jr4n0 brought up an interesting point which I thought deserved discussion in this thread. I'd like to think that the tyre companies don't play favourites too much, but in reality, with limited resources, if you're on the right factory bike with the right sponsors, I guess you're going to get...

What do you want to happen? Is the current state of play good for the sport or is it just good for Dorna? Should we bite the bullet and rally behind a control tyre? Or should it be a genuinely 'free market' where teams decide themselves what tyres they want to use each year without...
