Spicy criticism the drivers to Michelin in Phillip Island

In order to provide comfort in the pre-season test in Phillip Island Circuit, then the various efforts undertaken by the tire company Michelin France named origin. But this is precisely the tire company got a pointed critique of the whole driver because of the 13 accidents that occurred during the test pre-season the second year 2016.

It is known that Michelin has done a new breakthrough by using different compounds on the front tire. Michelin is also asking teams to forbid drivers doing the rounds as much as 25 laps in a row using only one set of tires only.

This is done as a step to anticipate or prevent things unwanted. As a result, the team and the drivers agreed to only do 15 laps at Phillip Island. Despite the anticipation and prevention steps it runs quite well on the track, but the incidence of accidents still occurs and cannot be avoided.

During the test the second pre-season it has occurred 13 accident. Maverick Viñales assume that such incidents occurred because the compound tires are not running to its full potential on the track. "I think this is the fault of the tires the sheer. Really I didn't feel comfortable at the time the position is straight, "so the word Viñales as quoted from Motorsport (21/2/2016).

While the other driver, Jorge Lorenzo and Aleix Espargaró thus Zinger that harder to Michelin. With a compact sound, they throw statement that is supposed to be more serious MotoGP tire manufacturer again to listen to drivers ' complaints. No less important, the Jockey should also do its best to adapt.

"It's really wacky 13 incidents of accidents happening in MotoGP it too much," said Espargaro.

Another case with Lorenzo, he said: "as long as I follow three or four tests together with pre-season Michelin, I fell as much as three to four times and it's a bit less reasonable. They should fix the quality of tires and we as riders also have to do the best thing for adapting. "That’s the word for world champion MotoGP 2015.
