MotoGP championship contender Jorge Martin says the current tyre pressure rules mean “we are not seeing real races”, while Aleix Espargaro says it is “going to ruin” the series.
To close up a grey area in the rulebook, MotoGP has enforced a minimum front and rear tyre pressure that riders must not run below for at least 30% of a sprint and 50% of a grand prix. The rule came into force from the British Grand Prix in August when the new Tyre Pressure Management System was installed. From the outset, riders were unhappy at the forced minimum front pressure being set at 1.
If not, I will get six seconds and then 12,” he said when asked by Motorsport.com if he has been starting with higher front tyre pressures to avoid penalties. “I hate this rule, it’s going to ruin this championship.” KTM’s Brad Binder believes the rule, which was brought in on safety grounds, is anything but safe and says the riders “would appreciate” Michelin lowering the minimum limit. “The thing is, for me it’s 10 times more unsafe when you are above two bar ,” Binder said.
