Miksiköhän tiimi päätyi tuollaiseen ratkaisuun...?

Päätös oli ainakin tämän hetken ymmärryksen mukaan täysin Michelinin tekemä. Mika avasi tuota asiaa muutamalla sanalla myös omalla face sivustollaankin.
Back home from #qatartest . Reflecting back, not a test to remember.. After high expectations before the test began on mine and the team's side, was devastated to hear that I was the single only rider on duty, who did not receive the new 2017 tyres from #michelin .
Had anticipated to compare speed with other riders for ages and was, and still am, really disappointed with the politics of tyre supply. We were forced to ride with last years tyres and especially the harder option ones denied us the possibility to be compatible with the rest, losing nearly a few seconds on that alone. Feedback for the team was also a hard one to handle, as the performance level was completely different than with the other two bikes.
Luckily on the last day, at 22:30, I finally received one pair of 2017 tyres. On a cold track and last remaining laps I managed a time 0,4secs off others, who had worked with this set-up the whole weekend. Happy about that pace, but disappointed to have lost the potential of the test for the other days and countless laps. Nevertheless, very best of luck to those who race in Qatar soon! Looking forward to my next wildcard meanwhile 😎👊#motogp #ktm #ktmfactoryracing #readytorace
Eipä sillä Espargaro ja Smith varmaan tyytyväisiä, että tiimin nopein eli testikuski on testeissä hitaampi, niin saa Beavis and Butthead kaksikko keskittyä kehittämään Kotarista huonoa Yamahan kopiota. 😁
