Brno Race Release PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN AND COURAGEOUS CRUTCHLOW CONQUER CZECH CONDITIONS Michelin saw its hard compound front and rear wet weather tyres put to perfect use today as Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) raced to his premiere MotoGP™ victory in very changeable conditions at the HJC Helmets Grand Prix České Republiky in Brno. Crutchlow was one of only three riders to match front and rear hard MICHELIN Power Rain tyres after torrential rain had soaked the 5,403m circuit this morning. With the rain clouds clearing, the 22-lap race was declared wet, but tyre choice was always going to be a big factor as the track began to dry. Crutchlow started from 10th on the grid and had been relegated to 15th by the end of lap-one as he used the early laps to find the limits of his tyres and get optimum heat into the rubber. The Englishman then began his march through the field before taking the lead on lap-16, from last week’s winner Andrea Iannone (Ducati Team) and pulling away to complete a historic victory, made even more special as Crutchlow became the first British winner of a premier class motorcycle race since Barry Sheene in 1981. His victory also secured the position of First Independent Team Rider and comes hot-on-the-heels of him becoming a father for the first time just three-weeks ago. The battle for the remaining podium places was an enthralling encounter which saw many riders change places throughout the race. Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) eventually took second place as he put his hard rear wet which he paired with a soft front ̶ to work and made his way through the field after dropping to 13th on lap-seven. Filling the final podium position was championship leader Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team), he used the soft tyre front and rear configuration and preserved his rubber on the drying track to take a hard-fought third. Loris Baz (Avintia Racing) showed his wet weather prowess to take fourth whilst also using the double hard tyre option and lead home a quintet of Ducatis which included his team-mate Hector Barbera (Avintia Racing) in fifth, Eugene Laverty (Pull & Bear Aspar Team) sixth and Danilo Petrucci (OCTO Pramac Yakhnich) taking seventh. Austrian Grand Prix winner Andrea Iannone (Ducati Team) was eighth and the final Ducati in the five-man Italian marque’s battle. Maverick Viñales (Team SUZUKI ECSTAR) rode to ninth with Tito Rabat (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS) - the third rider on the all-hard tyre option - rounding out the top-ten. The tricky conditions today saw many riders choose the soft front and rear wet tyre selection as they expected the rain to return, or the track to dry significantly enough to enable a flag-to-flag bike change for different tyres and set-up. With the weather causing neither choice to be an option, tyre conservation was ultimately an important factor with wear increasing as the track dried. These unusual circumstances led to some riders having to ride to preserve soft full wet tyres not designed for drying circuits, whilst others were able to manage their machines to get the best out of their choice of rubber, but it all led to a very exciting event for the 82,066 fans that were at trackside and also saw no crashes throughout the entire race. Michelin will now stay at Brno for a one-day test on the Monday, before heading to its next overseas race, this time crossing the English Channel as the MotoGP paddock heads to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix on Sunday 4th September. Cal Crutchlow – LCR Honda: “I’m very, very pleased to get this win today as it’s something very special for my career. I have been close to winning a few times before, but I am really pleased with the tyre choice that I made today. We took the gamble after I had spoken to Michelin on the grid and I said listen I’m going to go with the hard/hard and they said they thought it was the right choice. I knew that after three or four laps I would be competitive, but it was quite difficult to manage the tyres at the start of the race, because I needed to get the heat in them. I knew once I got going it was the right choice of tyres and I’m really happy with this result for me and my team.” Tim Walpole – [email protected] – Phone: +44.7976.397.265 Alessandro Barlozzi – [email protected] – Phone: +33.6.42.23.55.93 Nicolas Goubert - Deputy Director, Technical Director and Supervisor of the MotoGP Programme: “Today we had another strange race that saw the conditions change and tyre choice become a big factor on the result. We had the first three riders all using different combinations of soft and hard rain tyres to try and get the best performance on the drying track. Cal Crutchlow made a courageous decision to go with a hard pairing and as the race progressed it was obvious to see that this was the right choice for him. Some other riders suffered extreme wear from the softer version as the track dried, this was because the tyre is designed for full wet conditions. “Previous to today though we were very pleased with the performance of our slick tyres in the dry at Brno. The new rear tyres we brought here gave the riders increased traction and enabled Marc Marquez to set the best-lap ever recorded here by a motorcycle, with Jorge Lorenzo also going under the previous best-lap record. This was another step forward for us and one we will build on as the season progresses, we will now have a day-long test here tomorrow, where we will work on strategies for the remainder of this season and also on some new tyres for 2017.” Tim Walpole – [email protected] – Phone: +44.7976.397.265 Alessandro Barlozzi – [email protected] – Phone: +33.6.42.23.55.93 .

    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN SEES RECORDS TUMBLE AT MISANO AS PEDROSA BECOMES THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE MOTOGP™ WORLD Michelin saw its new front MotoGP™ tyres put to good use this afternoon as Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda) scorched to a stunning victory at Misano in Italy today in the Gran Premio TIM di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini and set a new lap and race record in the process. Pedrosa started from eighth on the grid and made his way through the field as he posted fastest-lap after fastest-lap. Using the new MICHELIN Power Slick soft compound tyre - one of only two riders to choose this version – on the front of his bike and paired with a rear medium compound, the Spaniard looked unstoppable as he caught and passed race-leader Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) with seven laps to go. As Pedrosa crossed the line for victory not only had he posted the fastest race- lap record with the first circulation of the circuit in 1’32”s, but he also took almost 22 seconds off the previous race-time record and became the eighth different rider in succession to win a MotoGP race, the first time in the history of premier class racing this has ever happened. Rossi followed Pedrosa across the line at his home Grand Prix and closed the gap in the championship on current leader Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda) who finished fourth. Rossi used the new medium front tyre along with a medium rear, whilst Marquez choose to go for hard on the front and medium on the rear, again highlighting the variety of Michelin rubber that can be used by the different riders.

  • Motogp:Marc Marquez Crowned 2018 World Champion at Motegi
    Beat: Sports MotoGP:Marc Marquez crowned 2018 World Champion at Motegi Marquez wins the Japanese GP 2018 Bologna Motorvalley Italy , 23.10.2018, 18:22 Time Roberto magni By Foto ReD Photograpic Agency - Marc Marquez took an incredible victory at Twin Ring Motegi today, becoming the 2018 MotoGP World Champion with three races to go, in front of Honda President and CEO Mr Takahiro Hachigo, who joined him on the podium. After starting from the sixth spot on the grid, Marc was immediately able to recover four positions, taking over second place and engaging in race-long battle with title contender Andrea Dovizioso and fellow Honda rider Cal Crutchlow. With two laps remaining, the Italian rider crashed out of the race, just after Marc had passed him in preparation for a last-lap duel. With his eighth win of 2018 and the 69th in his career (across all classes), Marquez becomes the youngest rider of all time to reach the milestone of seven World Championships (125cc in 2010, Moto2 in 2012 and MotoGP in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018); he does this at the age of 25 years and 246 days, taking the record from Mike Hailwood, who was 26 years and 140 days old when he won his seventh title, the 1966 350cc crown. LCR Honda CASTROL rider Cal Crutchlow produced the goods at HRC´s home race on Sunday as he claimed second place at the Twin Ring Motegi. Having been consistently fast throughout the weekend, the Briton got the result his efforts deserved. Starting from the front of the second row, Crutchlow quickly latched on to Marquez and Ducati´s Andrea Dovizioso as the three riders pulled clear at the head of the race.

    Beat: Sports MotoGP Australia: Honda motorcycle wins with Marquez Motogp Marquez wins at Phillip Island Bologna Motorvalley Italy, 28.10.2019, 21:07 Time Roberto Magni By Foto ReD Photographic Agency - Marquez unmatched to make it five in a row with Phillip Island last-lap thriller Marc Marquez made history in Australia as he became Honda´s most successful rider after clinching his 55th premier class win at the end of an incredible Australian GP. Sunday in Australia got off to a solid start for Marc Marquez as he lined up on the front row for the eighth straight year at Phillip Island. The World Champion found himself in the heart of an incredible nine-rider battle during the opening laps as the field fought for early position. With perfect precision, Marquez carved his way forward to join Cal Crutchlow and Maverick Viñales at the front. Lap ten saw the race enter its second stage, Viñales trying to break away from the chasing pack. But both Marquez and Crutchlow responded with low 1´29s to keep Viñales within just a few tenths. Lapping consistently in the 1´29s, the eight-time World Champion stalked Viñales and used the RC213V´s superior top speed to blast into the lead on the last lap and eventually cross the line for an 11th win in 2019. The victory is Marquez´s 55th in the premier class and makes him Honda´s most successful rider as he moves ahead of Mick Doohan´s 1998 record of 54 wins. Now only Valentino Rossi (89) and Giacomo Agostini (68) have more premier class victories to their names.
