Piero Taramasso, Michelin Motorsport Two-Wheel Manager

This is a very important weekend for us as the home Grand Prix always has a special meaning, as well as the added expectation. The French people are very partisan and will certainly be right behind us, so we must perform for them as well as all the Michelin personnel that will be trackside. We had a good test at Le Mans earlier this month to try the new surface and gather

as much data as possible about which compounds we will use. This has enabled us to go back to Clermont-Ferrand and prepare a range of tyres that will give optimum performance around this famous circuit. The new asphalt will provide grip in the dry and as we found at the test - because it rained in the morning - it also has very impressive adhesion in the wet, which could prove important as the weather can certainly be changeable at Le Mans..

22Slick tyres

For each grand prix weekend (free

practice, qualifying, warm-up and race),

riders have a total allocation of 22 slicks:

10 front slicks:

Up to five A-specification compounds

Up to five B-specification compounds

Up to five C-specification compounds

12 rear slicks:

Up to six A-specification compounds*

Up to five B-specification compounds

Up to four C-specification compounds

*Riders participating in both Q1 and Q2

(a maximum of two competitors) will be

granted an additional A-specification slick

rear tyre – offering the optimum grip level

– after Q2. This means that these two riders

will have access to a maximum of seven

A-specification rear tyres and 13 rear slicks.

11Rain tyres

Riders have a total allocation of 11

rain tyres per grand prix weekend (free

practice, qualifying, warm-up and race):

5 front tyres:

Up to four A-specification compounds

Up to two B-specification compounds

6 rear tyres:

Up to five A-specification compounds

Up to two B-specification compounds

In instances where all of the free

practice sessions and at least one

qualifying session are declared ‘wet’, an

extra set of rain tyres will be allocated

to each rider. The new allocation will

therefore be composed of:

6 front rain tyres

(four A-specification

+ two B-specification)

7 rear rain tyres

(five A-specification

+ two B-specification)

Tread re-cutting is prohibited.
