Piero Taramasso, Michelin’s motorsport boss, says MotoGP’s plans for a sole tyre supplier for all classes from 2027 was “not an option” for the French br🎐and.

On Thursday 6 March, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP announced that Pirelli would become Mot🌄oGP’s tyre supplier from the 2027 season as part of a wider movꦫe to have every class running the same rubber.

Currꦅently, Pirelli is the sole supplier for the Moto2 and Moto3 class, while Michelin has provided tyres for MotoGP since 2016.

But Dorna Sports wants t🧸o unify tyre supply across all classes, which is something Michelin says was not part of its plans while discussing the renewal of its current deal beyond 2026.

“After several months of discussion regarding the extension of Michelin’s MotoGP contract after the 2026 seas𓆏on, Dorna Sports has decided to select a sole tyre supplier for all classes,” Taramasso said.

“So, this means MꦅotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, MotoE and also the series like Rookies Cup and Talent Cup.

“Unfortunately this set-up was not an option for Michel𝓡in, which has always pr𒐪ioritised the MotoGP and the MotoE.

“MotoGP represents the pinnacle of motorcycle racing and it serves to us as a m♔easured testing ground for all technological innovation.

“It’s the platform where Michelin develops the expertise, it gets a lot ꩵof data, it sets records in collaboration with the manufacturers and the best riders in the world.

“We respect Dorna’s position and remain focused on our role as the tyre supplier for the seasons 2025 and 2026 for MotoE and MotoGP.ജ We will continue to wor🍰k hand in hand with our partners.”

Pirelli took over from Dunlop as sole tyre supplier for the Moto2 and Moto3 class last year, whi🅘ch began speculation of it eventually expanding in🤡to the premier class.

The Italian brand also acts as sole tyre supplier ❀for the World Superbike Championship, with its current deal running to the end of 2026.

As well as WorldSBKဣ, Pirelli will continue to be Formula 1’s tyre supplier until the end of 2027 and has a𝔍n option in its contract to extend.

It’s unclear how Pirelli’s ܫMotoGP plans will affects its current efforts in WorꦍldSBK and F1.
