This year, the suspense in MotoGP is at its height. Each Grand Prix has its favorite, generally determined only during the Friday free practice sessions. Then we erase everything and start again... In the end, halfway through, four drivers are united in just ten points and we even have a top 5 grouped into twenty-six units. We would be happy about it if some people did not want to undermine our innocence regarding fairness on quality in the allocation of tires. A conspiracy theory that the leader of the championship Marc Márquez dismiss.

Is Michelin playing, knowingly or not, with the adjustment variable so that we end up with a championship so indecisive that it will keep us in suspense until the last moments of the final Grand Prix? The question is disturbing. But the checkered results of the top teams are surprising and often find their source in the performance of the tires.

Some have found in this question the answer to Ducati's resounding return to form. The Red Engineer Gigi Dall'Igna rejected HERE this hypothesis. A conviction relayed by the official Honda driver Marc Márquez : " I am totally convinced that everything is clear, clear and fair in this area. The tires are all black, they are distributed randomly and you have a lot of them during the weekend. Sometimes, over the course of an entire season, it can happen that one tire is worse than another and that's normal. ».

« It's normal, all the teams know this. I don't believe for a moment that there is any conspiracy or anything like that. At each meeting, we have three front tires and three rear tires, for all riding styles and tendencies. Everyone can choose the tire they want. I am totally confident on the subject ". This is what is said.
