MOTOGP » Bridgestone responds to Laguna accidents

Bring back Michelin !!!

Correct me if i'm wrong, but in their final couple of seasons Michelin tyres were absolutely sh1t at this circuit too!

Now easy...Only one can be blame..

Yep,Michelin were sh1t last season which is why they aren't in moto gp now.They have been sh1te the last few years which was why Rossi switched to Bridgestone.My comment was tongue in cheek !

these soft tyres are not qualifying but softest race tyres they have, so riders have to do a few laps to get some heat in them both stoner and lorenzo were on out laps or there second lap when they fell

Poor excuse by Bridgestone. Any idiot knows if you have fewer right hand turns that the tire will not maintain proper temperature on that side. They might as well said "we brought a tire we liked and if the riders fell off than it's their problem".

They should just shut up and bring a dual compound tire to tracks that require them. They have been in MotoGP long enough to know that. It seems having no competition is making them lazy.

Bridgestone are doing an amazing job this year, providing consistent and high performance tires, which was far from being the case for Crapelli when they won the WSB bid a few years ago.

So I strongly disagree with comments putting the blame on them, especially as these right hand curve highsides hit only two riders, who obviously had not been cautious enough with cold tires. Rossi was 2nd in QP and did dnot crash.

What is true is that the 2009 Bridgestone rear sometimes highsides brutally the rider without warning when the bike is leaned with no brakes nor gas applied, and this happened to Lorenzo, Pedrosa and others earlier this year. They have to correct that asap.

Just let off the gas a little bit....that will solve the problem.

what a comments here.

here's nothing to comment on.

you can't push it to the limit with cold tyres, the reason they crasht is... hasty.(stoner,lorenzo).

and then sh!t happends.

lorenzo crasht 2 times. and almost in the race.

he should know by now(experience) that the bridgestones need 1 lap to warm-up.

michelin needed 6 laps.


great job bridgestone

Rossi also said the tires were dangerous and probably had to pussy foot around while getting 2nd.
