Michelin has officially confirmed that a new construction rear tyre will be available for the 2020 MotoGP season, following a c🃏omprehensive range of tests held at a variety of venues las🐲t year.

The new construction is aimed at increasing performance and stability for al🦄l riders and machines, meaning improved lap and race 𒐪times.

Following in-house in laboratory tests, the new rear slick was given to the MotoGP field to try for the first time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:d✨uring the Catalunya post-race test in June 20♚19.

This waꩵs followed by further tests 🅷held at Brno and Misano, before a special 20-minute track session for the new tyre during the Australian Grand Prix weekend at Phillip Island, the season's most punishing tyre venue.

Michelin then supplied the tyre for further examination during the post-seaso🐷n tests at Valencia and Jerez respectively.

Throughout all of the tests the new construction rear was paired with 'compounds suited to the respective circuits and ones which t𒆙he riders h🌟ad used during the race-weekend, giving a clear and objective comparison between the tyre constructions'.

After analysing all of the data and feedback, Michelin’s Technicians at Clermont-Ferrand have approved the launch of the new construction fඣor the 2020 season.

“After such an intensive and involved testing schedule we are d🎀elighted to launch the new construction rear tyre," said Piero Taramas🌳so, Michelin Motorsport Two-Wheel Manager.

"We have been working on this latest evolution for quite some time and with the assistance and comprehensive feedback from all the rider🀅s we know we ꧃have produced a tyre that will improve performance for all concerned.

"We have now informed Dorna and IRTA of the change and have given the teams and manufacturers the full specification and in-dept💛h data so they can s🦄et-up the bikes to give the optimum performance from this new rear slick.

"This is the first change to constr🧸uction for the rear🃏 for two years and an important advance in the evolution of our Michelin Power Slick tyres for MotoGP.

"The new construction is in line with Michelin’s long lasting performance approach, which guarantees consistent perform♔ance all race long, and we are now looking forward to seeing it perform in racing conditions and breaking more records.”

Of the 19 rounds on last year's calendar, eight of the race lap records still date from the pre-2016 Bridgestone single-tyre era: Argentina, Austin, Mugello, Assen, Brno, Aragon, Motegi and Philli♊p Island.

The new rear tyre will next be on track during the forthcoming pre-season tests held at Sepang and then Losail in February, followed by🌠 a race debut in Qatar on Sunday 8th March.
