Phillip Island Moto GP tyre farce

The whole thing was as weak as pi$$ .
The tyre manufacturers knew they had a problem from the first round of the Superbikes in March .
They had plenty of time to come up with good rubber .
Bridgestone should have been penalised .
Open it back up to all the tyre manufacturers I say .
But ................ the next two races are gonna be good .
I bet a Spaniard wins the title .

Cheers , Simon .

If they docked MM points, he would have to start from pit lane at Motegi per current MotoGP rules

that is not true, they could have docked him championship points with no other penalty incurred. IF they chose to award him a penalty point on his license, THEN he would have had to start from the back of the grid.
 
Motegi is proving interesting - low cloud has stopped the chopper getting there so no running until it does....and a Kiwi with HRC says it's hosing down near the circuit...Bet Mike Webb wishes he was running a club day at Manfield back in NZ....
 
yep, free practice cancelled on Friday and qualifying has been delayed today (saturday) due to low visibility. but they do promise a race tomorrow, what ever happens.

They did come up with a new compound, but they didn't anticipate the heat!
The decision was made after the rubber came off the rims and the heavy blistering on the INSIDE of the tyres became evident. I think the black flag was necessary, and I hope MM doesn't take it this year.
