The soft works well and media that approaches soft over several seasons Looking for. It’s impossible to find another software, because otherwise you’ll end the qualification tire. Last year we brought new construction, but it didn’t work, so it didn’t work, so it was standard. I’ve returned to this solution.”

“This temperature is covered with a McLaren sensor. The McLaren sensor tells you the internal temperature. Before you come out, look inside the box or look at the equipment and see the cavity temperature. Cavity. The temperature is. The air temperature inside the tire you control is the internal temperature, “The equipment is responsible for.

Ends at the end of 2026 Michelin current contract with MotoGP As a single tire supplier, we are already negotiating an update. “We’re talking. We don’t have the news at the moment. Obviously we want to stay and we’ll have the answer soon. We’ve already got the first race You may know that.
