Michelin Decides AustinGP Race Tyres

The Official MotoGP tyre supplier, Michelin, has decided to supply the stiffer rear tyres as they did not want to repeat the incident that involved Scott Redding in last week's free practice in Argentina where he got a puncture on his rear tyre which caused the race to be shortened to 20 laps instead of 24 laps and a flag to flag situation.This incident also happened in preseason testing in Sepang, Malaysia which involved Avintia Racing Team's Loris Baz.

"We still don't know what caused Redding's problem, but for this weekend, we are calm." -Piero Taramasso-

Marc Marquez Silverstone Crash Analysis

Image
Welcome back to WarmUpLap12 and we are going to be analysing Marc Marquez's Silverstone Crash. It was only eight laps remaining and Marquez crashed out of the British Grand Prix.He was tailing the nine times world champion Valentino Rossi on that lap and he skidded, slided and crashed out. ANALYSIS: Marquez started the race with both soft front and rear wet tyre combination and that is our main clue.The wet tyres cannot remain in optimum temperature as the wet tyres are helped by the cold water on the surface of the track to be cold.As the riders maintain their speeds at at least 210 km/h they can make the tyres become hot. Conclusion: As Marquez was trying too hard to maintain his gap between himself and Rossi, Marquez was not aware that he was making the tyres hotter and hotter then, the grip of the rear tyre became lesser and lesser and Marquez crashed out of the British Grand Prix. -©2015WarmUpLap12-
