This morning's MotoGP practice at Laguna was held in cool and overcast condiitons. Hayden did not suffer the indignity of having to run a 'loboty-tire' intermediate as Gary Medley borrowed him the slick from Russell's 1991 Charlotte win, which he carries with him for just these situations. Fine, he didn't.
Rossi said privately yesterday that this is why he left Michelin, because they always knew better than he which tires worked.
Bridgestone, meanwhile, spent a few seconds looking at the weather forecast for Laguna on-line and brought tires which would work in those conditions. An amazingly brilliant coup.
Toseland tries to get his knee down with a Intermediate Michelin on the back. In. The. Dry.
