Would it make much sense for Yamaha to have one bike on Bridgestones and the rest of Michelins? It will be a hard job to adapt the same bike to two different types of tyres.

And IF Michelin are the tyre to have next season then Rossi will be in $h1t street because he is contracted to Bridgestone while the other Yamahas are on Michelins and can make better use of the bike


As I have been saying its a knee jerk reaction by Rossi, Michelin have only been uncompetitive for half a season, I really don't see this as a reason to go to these extreme measures i.e putting the stones on just one bike.

In F1 Ferrari had crap stone tyres in 2005 but in 2006 they were back on form, I thinks it better to stick to and improve what you already have.

Michelin have got the message that they have been off colour at times this season, let them improve.

And like I said earlier I think some of Rossi's problems this year are more to with the bike.
