Michelin’s Piero Taramasso says “there are no problems” with the tyres Aprilia’s Jorge Martin was using when he crashed heavily on day one of the Sepang M♚otoGP test.

The reigning world champion crashed twice in quick succession early on day one of the Sepang pre-season test, with the second a vicious highside that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:left him with multiple fractures.

The injuries ruled Martin out of the remainder of the test and have jeopar𓆏dised the rest of his pre-seaso💯n as he heads home for surgery on Friday in Spain.

Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola told the media on Wednesday that the team’s data showed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:there were no issues with the rider or the bike, and that the tyres he us൲ed werಌe in the correct operating window.

Stopping short of blaming Michelin directly for the crash, Taramasso has defended the tyre manufacturer by stating its own investiꦰgations found no problems with Martin’s rubber.

“When therꦑe are these accidents we always have to look for the reason and logically the tyres are part of the bike and the whole system,” he told Sky Italy on Thursday.

“We looked at ♌Jorge's rear tyre: as far as 🤡traceability is concerned, this tyre was manufactured last year, it was never heated and therefore had all the qualities to be a high-performance tyre and that's why we brought it here.

“We looked at the tyre after the runs that Jorge 𓂃did a🅘nd it worked well: you can see it from the look, it worked both left and right.

“When tyres don't work they always have that shi🌠ny, smooth look and that wasn't the case for Jorge's tyre.

“Then also analysing the lap times: he did a run for the first four-five 🌃laps on the times of the other riders, in the second run he was faster than riders like [Francesco] Bagnaia and [Brad] Binder.

“And then he had the two crashes: it's a bit strange that he kept it for 13 laps; u🎐sually when♊ a tyre doesn't work the riders come back and ask to change it after two-three laps.

“And as Massimo Rivola rightly said, the press🌌ures and temperature🅘s were fine.

“Everything was♔ working well from a tyre point of view. For us, from what we have seen so far and the data we have, there are no problems.”

Despite the fractures, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aprilia confirmed on Thursday that Martin had suffered no serious in🃏juries and the marque is hopeful he will be ready for the first round of the season in Thailand at the end of the month.

Should Martin miss the second test in Buriram next week, he will begin his first season with t📖he factory Aprilia squad and as reigning world champion having completedౠ only 90 laps on the RS-GP.
