Rubbery stuff

I think the motorcycli­ng community has tunnel-vision as far as MotoGP is concerned. Before, we used to talk about the riders and their machines. Nowadays, all anybody talks about is tyres, tyres, and more tyres! The only manufactur­er that can use any strength of tyre-spec for the whole race distance is Ducati. All the others are hit or miss.

A boxer who is told to box lightly so he can last the distance is not really boxing is he? In my opinion, any tyre manufactur­er that cannot supply a race tyre that can last the distance should be boycotted. Let’s get back to MotoGP and not TyreGP!
