At the mid-point of this MotoGP season, we cannot avoid the question of tires. The sole manufacturer of the premier category of Grands Prix did not arouse unanimity with, also, a copy review while hostilities were in full swing. The fact is that each deadline on the calendar is like a lottery whose winning combination has recently gone to Ducati. A random situation on which insists Valentino Rossi. Who thinks more of Honda in terms of the advantage gained.
A final feeling reinforced by reading the provisional general classification. Marc Márquez, official HRC driver, leads the championship. And to get there, while he was up to 37 points behind the Yamaha of Viñales in his journey, a factor helped him: “ the Hondas are able to manage their tires better and that's what makes the difference. Marc Marquez is strong, of course, but he can get more out of his rear tire. It consumes less tire capital ».
On this, the titled ninefold develops: “ the tires have changed since last year. Conditions vary greatly from one track to another. We cannot work on the development of the bike in these conditions, because, every time, everything changes. This is one of our problems ».
Valentino Rossi is currently fourth in the championship, ten points behind the leader Márquez. The season will resume on August 4, in Brno.
