Lorenzo, Michelin and pneumatic engine?

Question

http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_news.htm?menu=news&news_id=20937

It is now official! Is this a good choice? I personally don't agree with the Michelin part. So what are your thoughts?

Answer 1

I'm so glad they decided not to change tyres! I do think that using only one brand would be very bad for the development: with no competitors bridgestone would certainly stop or slow  the emprovement! today's times and records are the result of years of development of the motorbikes, but of the tyres too. also, michelin is the one who "invented" modern tyres and I'm sure it's working hard to reduce the gap it has from bridgestone, next year they will be more balanced.

ps: sorry for my bad English :)

Answer 2

hey A.nik

They sure have got caught with their pants down this season, and after dominating for donkeys years.

I think he's got as much chance as the next guy (oh er, that next guy's Vale!!) and he should consider himself lucky to have that machine under his butt!

Roll on 2008!

Answer 3

Good and bad.

I just hope that the French start making some great tyres again.

More to the point, how the h**l did Tamada beat him today ?? !!

Answer 4
