Michelin have made it clear to MotoGP teams what the minimum requirements for tyre pressures are, but Martin, who is one o🌄f many to speꦇak out against the tyre company in recent months, feels as though the current pressure regulations are sometimes dangerous as opposed to being safer.

Being safer is of course Michelin’s goal with their current tyre pressure demands, which i꧃nclude a minimum of 1.9 bar (27.6psi) on t൲he front and 1.7 bar (24.7psi) on the rear.

However, those same minimum tyre pressures have le🃏d to riders encountering problems during races, especially when following other riders as the pressures fluctuate and can sometimes rise to the point where riders lose grip and crash out. 

That’s one of ✨the concerns Martin raised when speaking to , while also claiming that current MotoGP bikes could be even faster without the restrictions imposed by Michelin.

Martin said: "It’s a pity that we are limited by the tyres. I think the bikes are at a level that the tyres haven’t arrived yet. I think we can go 3-4 seconds faster but at the end of the day♏, we arrive at the limit of the tyrꦬes.”

"So yeah it’s a pity also that we need to have that tyre pressure that weꦰ need to go. Because if not, I think we can be even faster.”

"Sometimes Mi🌃chelin asks us to be at a tyre pressure that is even dangerous because we feel like we’re crashing every corner.”

"There is a war𒉰 between the factories and Michelin. I know Michelin wants to be safe and ꦅnot have any problems with the tyre but teams always want to go even lower. It’s a big war that is making every race."

Martin, who was a one-time sprint race winner heading into last weekend’s German Grand Prix꧅ weekend, claimed a stunning double as he w💖on both races ahead of Francesco Bagnaia.

Now just 16 points behind 🐬the factory Ducati rider in the standings, Martin is ready to push on and become a title contender now that he has an engine that allows him to get the most out ✱of his bike and himself, as opposed to the ‘hybrid’ engine he used last season. 

"Wℱe changed the engine from last season which I knew was not the same one as in the factory team but I thought it would be better," added Mart🌳in. 

"At the end of the day, I struggled quite a lot. I was missing a lot of throttle management and the🦹 contact between the throttle and the torque was not ideal.”

"Thiꦡs year, on the first lap in theඣ new engine, I felt a lot better. The braking is much better, a point I was struggling with the most last season.”

"Now I can figh꧂t, I can brake late, fight back when someone overtakes me. So it’s quite a big change and in the end, it reflects on the results.”

"We always struggle with the rear grip. Not only Ducati but al🔥l the brands are disappointed. It is never enough. The more grip y💃ou have, the better you go at the end of the race.”

"That’s a point where they’re still working, bringing new frames, also swingarms. There are lots of ways t🐎o improve that and I know it’s difficult. We’re still working on that."
