Will always remember Rossi bumping Gibernau in that last corner and then himself getting served by Elias and crashing another year.
Maniac Spanish crowds,100 odd thousand of them.

Was Portugal where Elias gave them all the learn mate.

That is not the plan.

[Crasherfromwayback]

That's a pity.

That's a pity.

I kinda like the one make tyre rule, as it stops what used to happen with Rossi and few others. The last thing is the tyre and to have all riders and bikes using the same brand kinda makes it more interesting as it kinda makes the fight more =

To make the racing really interesting Dorna could appoint Cheng Shin the official supplier.

The initial comments from the riders indicate a degree of worry that another manufacturer may not be able to make tyres to Bridgestone standards. Rossi has spoken in praise of Bridgestone which is slightly odd considering his CoTA experience just a few weeks ago. Then again, it has been suggested that he is a paid ambassador for Bridgestone. He will also be worried about having to radically change his style yet again.

There have been suggestions that the single supplier system be changed but that "overnight specials" be ruled out. So far though it seems the various manufacturers are being asked to submit proposals on a single supplier basis.

Multi brands of tyres is not healthy, as the same old will start to happen again likw with Rossi and Ducati with CS

[Mental Trousers]

Dorna should control distribution of tyres so nobody is favoured, just like they do with engines in Moto2

so run multi brand tyres but distribution at the control of Dorna? That still leaves the door open for a manufacturer to focus on one brand of machine and riders so in my mind still will not make it =

Bit more on the talk of the day...

Nothing wrong with that as long as there's a choice. If it isn't working for a team with one tyre supplier then move to another. That's what happens when there's no single supplier rule.

As long as there's more than 1 rider/team they can't make specials unless it's for all the riders they supply.
