✨Last week's Misano test saw Michelin gather more data on a new future📖 MotoGP rear tyre construction.

The revised construction is described as being "a small tunin💞g" to the present design, with the specific aim of improving warm-up performance.

"We have the𒆙 new rear casing, which we already tested in Qatar and Barcelona. So now we try again here," said Mi🌃chelin's Piero Taramasso. "It's a special casing that the goal is to improve the warm-up, in the first 3-4 laps, then the performance is equal to the standard [current] specification.

"So far the test results are good, we are in the right direction, but we need to do more 𒉰tests during the season and then see when it will be possible to introduce."

But the need to ensure all teams and riders are happy with the new tyre means it might not be introduced untiꦉl the 2023 world championship.

"2022 is a little bit early because we need to do more tests and also we need to get positive answers from all the ridꦚers and teams. This is the most difficult point, so we may need a bit more time," Taramasso said.

"But from an [manufacturing] point of view we can do that very quickly and it will help the hard specification to be more easy to warm-up. But it's just a small 'tuning' so it won't change the balance of ꦜthe bike, it won't change the geometry, the data package will be the same, just the performance in the earlღy laps."

The next test for th🌺e tyre will be the final official outing of the year at Jerez in late November.

"Maybe we will try again this tyre [at Jerez] because to bettꦺer understand [the warm-up] we need to use in cold conditions," Taramas▨so said. "So if we have cooler conditions in Jerez it will be even better for us."

Michღelin recently extended its MotoGP contract un💎til 2026.
