  • 2016 Bienvenido
    MICHELIN DOSSIER DE PRENSA MotoGP 2016 BIENVENIDO El retorno de Michelin es incontestablemente la gran novedad de MotoGP para la temporada de 2016. Con el paso de neumáticos de 16,5 a 17 pulgadas, previsto por el nuevo reglamento técnico, los equipos y pilotos deberán adaptarse a la nueva monta, al mismo tiempo que aprenden a conocer y explotar las evoluciones técnicas de sus motos. La cooperación entre todos los actores de la disciplina durante el programa de pruebas Michelin, a lo largo de 2015, es el elemento crucial para que todo el mundo pueda estar preparado para la nueva temporada. Ausente de los Grandes Premios de moto desde que se instauró la regla de fabricante de neumáticos único en 2009, Michelin se prepara para reencontrarse con una competición en que el Grupo ha dejado su huella a través de los años. Con 360 victorias y 26 títulos de Campeón del Mundo, Michelin posee un rico y glorioso pasado en esta disciplina. Del slick a la bigoma, pasando por la tecnología radial, las innumerables evoluciones tecnológicas que ha aportado Michelin lo convierten en pionero en la competición de motos. “Estamos orgullosos de que Michelin regrese a MotoGP en el cuarenta aniversario de nuestra primera victoria en el Campeonato del Mundo de 500 CC con Barry Sheene”, comenta Pascal Couasnon, director de Michelin Motorsport. “Michelin es una referencia en carreras de moto y, tras casi una década de ausencia, es una gran emoción que podamos volver como Proveedor Oficial de Neumáticos de la categoría reina”. “La profunda implicación de Michelin en los deportes del motor necesita el desarrollo de tecnologías innovadoras y de neumáticos competitivos.
