Michelin were prepared to continue supplying th💯e current front tyre alongside t𒀰he stiffer option for 'one or two races'.

However 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the MotoGP r♛iders 𝓰decided against it, by a majority vote in April. They then confirmed that verdict in Friday's🃏 Safety Commission meeting, after which the change to the stiffer tyre from Mugello was officially confirmed.

"In൩ Austin we mentioned the different possibilities available to go forward if the other [stiffer] tyre was selected," Michelin's Nicolas Goubert explain🍒ed at Le Mans on Saturday.

"The riders discussed between them and said once a👍 decision is made [on which front tyre] they would be happier to have everything in one type of tyre.🐈 So it was good to double-check [yesterday], because sometimes they change their mind - and they are allowed to! - but they confirmed what they had said at the beginning."

But not everyone agreed with the decision.

The vote to use only the stiffer tyre, which provides more stability in corner entry, was won by a decisive margin of 20 votes to 3. Ducati's Jorge Lorenzo is known to have been one of those calling for the current tyre, which most riders say has better edge grip, 168澳洲幸运5官𒊎方开奖结果历史:to also be available at future rounds.

Goubert said Michelin would have been happy to offer both front tyres for a limited time: "Last year we had two different constructions﷽ during the season and we kept the choice of both 𝐆at a few races. So it's not unheard of. It makes sense in a way as well.

"The option to continue [with both] for one or two races was discussed in Austin and the riders said they'd rather no♏t. For us it's not a big deal; if we had to do it, we would have done it. But they decided not to, most of them preferred [only one].

"When [th💮e vote result] is overwhelming I don't see why you should go against. If it had been 12-11 it would have been more dif♑ficult."

But🌠 Goubert did have sympathy for Lorenzo's 🍃situation.

"I think what is bothering probably Jorge - and I understand his po🦩sition - is because he was starting to feel comfortable. He made a big change for him to go to Ducati and then changed a lot of things for him to get more comfortable on the bike. He had a good result in Jerez and then he has to change [the tyre].

"So he needs a little bit of time and it's understandable he's not completely happy with the decision. Bu🧔t it's a common decision, made by everyone, and I'm sure he will get used to it quite quickly.

"Most of the riders will feel more comfortable because from the beginning of the season we had a lot of requests and complaints about front movement, which we didn't have last year. But of course they will need a l🌃ittle bit of time to set-up the bike properly and get used to a new thing.

"But we're ♔talking about a small variation in the tyre construction stiffnesꦛs. It's not like going back to the profile we had [before Valencia] last year."

The stiffer front tyre made its debut at the 2016 Valencia finale, before༺ being softened for pre-season testing and used in all races up to and including this weekendꦡ at Le Mans.
