Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Prepares for Amended Argentina GP Protocol
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Press release available only in original language.
Following a rear-tyre failure involving Scott Redding's bike that occurred during the Gran Premio Motul de la Republica Argentina's Free Practice 4 session, Michelin, Dorna, IRTA, Movistar #yamaha #motogp and all the #motogp teams held a meeting to determine a cause of action for tomorrow's race.
With safety being the highest priority, the decision was made to remove both the medium and the hard rear tyre specification from the allocation at the #termasderiohondo Circuit for the remainder of the Argentine GP. The compounds will be replaced with four extra "special" rear tyres.
Movistar #yamaha Team's Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo look forward to utilising the additional 30-minute warm-up session to the maximum to adapt to the new situation.
Massimo Meregalli - Movistar #yamaha #motogp Team Director
"We respect the decision of Michelin and IRTA that aims to maximise the safety of the riders. The well-being and security of our riders comes first for us, before anything else. Luckily we'll have an additional 30-minute session during which we will do our outmost to adapt the bike to the new tyre. We have no other options so we'll try our hardest to achieve the best possible performance with this tyre. We already know that compared to the ones we have been using so far, the new tyre will have a lesser performance, but this goes for all riders. We hope the weather is favourable from the morning session until the race."
Valentino Rossi
"This new allocation changes the situation a lot, because I thought they would pull the soft tyre and we could race with the harder option, but unfortunately we have to race with a tyre that we never tried before. With this decision we have to start from zero, so we have to hope that tomorrow morning in the half hour warm-up we can understand the situation and that this tyre is safer. Everybody is in the same boat, so we will see what happens tomorrow."
Jorge Lorenzo
"It's a very strange situation that I've never encountered before. Unfortunately we had some issues in the recent past and it's definitely not a comfortable situation for the riders and the teams, but things are like that. I have great respect for Michelin and for the efforts they have put in these last few months to improve the 2016 tyres. Even considering this last inconvenience, I'm sure they will keep on working because safety is the first priority in #racing. Tomorrow the race will be extremely difficult. We'll have to start from zero but at least this is the same for all riders. Let's see how it goes tomorrow morning."
