MotoGP manuf♈acturers Honda, Yamaha 𝔉and Ducati will complete their first test with Michelin control tyres within the next month.

Michelin is taking over the exclusive MotoGP tyre s🦩upply from Bridgestone in 2016 and is also changing wheel size from 16.5 to 17 inch.

"During the next🐎 month we will start testing," said Yamaha MotoGP Group Leader Kouichi Tsuji. "The wheel size will change from 16.5 to 17 inch. We are starting to make these wheeཧls and then we can test."

HRC Vice President Shuhei Naꦺkamoto and Ducati Corse General Mana𓆏ger Luigi Dall'Igna gave more precise details.

"The first Michelin tyre test we have planned is for the end of this month in Japan, with test rid🐓er," said Nakamoto. "Second testꦕ we have not decided where."

"We wi💛ll test the Michelin tyres at the beginning of September here in Brno," said Dall'Igna.

Dall'Igna added: "The bike set-up has to be good for the tyres you are using, so for sure Michelin probably needs something different in terms of balance and weight distribution. It is a completely differe꧃nt tyre. 17-inch instead of 16.5. We will need to devel𝕴op the bike for Michelin."

2016 will also see th✃e introduction of a mandatory control ECU system, using software jointly developed by all the manufacturers.

"We have a big m🐠eeting I think this afternoon with the MSMA [manufacturers' association] just to find a conclusion regarding the software and after that maybe we can plan [a test]" said Dall'Igna.
