Incidents mar Michelin MotoGP test
Thursday's Miche🍸lin MotoGP tyre test at Sepang has s🎶een a series of high-speed accidents.
Aleix Espargaro (Suzuki), Jack Miller (Honda), Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha) and Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) all fell at either th꧙e Turn 3 right-hander or Turn 5 left hander. Turn 5 had also been the scene of three accidents for factory test riders earlier this month.
Fortunately Lorenzo, like the💦 other riders, walked away.
Today's test marks the first time that race riders have tꦕried the prototype 2016 Michelin rubber. Michelin is taking over from Bridgestone as MotoGP's exclusive supplier from next season. Riders are prevented from speaking to the media due to existing contracts with Bridgestone, with no official lap times available.
Pr💖ior to Thursday the MotoGP riders had 🐽spent three days at Sepang on Bridgestone tyres.
