Michelin has extended it's contract as MotoGP's official tyre supplier to cover the 201🐓9-2023 seasons.

The French company replaced Bridgestone at the start of 2016 and its wide selection of tyres - usually three different front and three 🧸different rear slicks - have contributed to the exciting racing seen in the last two seasons.

“I am delighted that MotoGP and Michelin will continue their collaboration for a further five years," said Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO Dorna Sports. "MotoGP has only continued to grow, excite and thrill fans since Michelin c🐎ame on board as sole tyre supplier in 2016, and we are proud that our partnership will once again form the foundations of a further five years of stunning racing. This is fantastic news for the Championship, teams and riders as we look to the future.”

Pascal Couasnon, Director of Michelin Motorsport, said: "We𒀰 are naturally delighted to have earned the confidence of Carmelo Ezpeleta and his team. Michelin intends to use its continuing association with Dorna Sports to continue developing ever-safer and more competitive racing tyres, as well as innovations that will go on to benefit our road tyres.

"Michelin is also delighted to continue working with the teams and riders who gave us such a warm welcome back after our absence from the champion💎ship and also to be able to build on the sense of pride felt by our staff following our successful return to MotoGP.”

One of Michelin's main goals for the future is to improve its quality control, so 🗹that the perform๊ance of each tyre (of the same specification) is as close as possible.
