Michelin were prepared to continue supplying the curre✅nt front tyre alongside the stiffeဣr option for 'one or two races'.

However 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the MotoGP riders decideಌd against it, by a ma🐽jority vote in April. They then confirmed that verdict in Friday's Safety Commission meeting, after which the change to🤡 the stiffer tyre from Mugello was officially confirmed.

"In Austin we mentioned the different possibilities available to go forward if the other [stiffer] tyre was selected,"🐠 Michelin's Nicolas Goubert explained at Le Mans on Saturday.

"The riders discussed between them and said once a decision is made [on which fr🦄ont tyre] they would be happier to have everything in one type of tyre. So it was good to double-check [yesterday], because sometimes they change their mind - and they are allowed to! - but they confirmed what they had said at the beginning."

But not everyone agreed with the decision.

The vote to use only the stiffer tyre, which provides more stability in corner entry, was won by a decisive margin of 20 votes to 3. Ducati's Jorge Lorenzo is known to have been one of those calling for the current tyre, which most riders say has better edge grip, 168🎀💃澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:to also be available at future rounds.

Goubert said Michelin would have been happy to offer both front tyres for a limited time: "Last year we had two different construct꧋ions during the season and we kept the choice of both at a few races. So it's not unheard of. It makes sense in a way as well.

"The option to continue [with both] for one or t💫wo races was discussed in Austin and the riders said they'd rather not. For us it's not a big deal; if we had to do it, we would have done it. But they decided not to, most of them preferred [only one].

"When [the vote result] is overwhelming I don't see why you s♚hould go against. If it had been 12-11 it woౠuld have been more difficult."

But Goubert did have symp🎉athy for Lorenzo's situation.

"I think what is bothering probably Jorge - and I understand his po♔sition - is because he was starting to feel comfortable. He made a big change for him to go to Ducati and then changed a lot of things for him to get more comfortable on the bike. He had a good result🔥 in Jerez and then he has to change [the tyre].

"So he needs a little bit of time and it's understandable he's not completely happy with the decision. But it's a common decision, made by everyone, and I'm sure he will get use🎉d to it quite quickly.

"Most of the riders will feel more comfortab💦le because from the beginning of the season we had a lot of requests and complaints about front movement, which we didn't have last year. But of course they will need a little bit of time to set-up the bike properly and get used to a new thing.

"But we're talking about a small variation in the tyre constructi🌠on stiffnesღs. It's not like going back to the profile we had [before Valencia] last year."

The stiffer front tyre made its debut at the 2016 Valencia finale, before being softened for pre-season testing and used in all 🤡races up to and including this weekend at Le Mans.
