It is hoped that the "new technolo🅘gy" compounds, due to be paired with the all-new (and bigger) front tyre constructio🗹n for 2025, will help to mitigate some of the overheating and pressure rise currently experienced when following other bikes.

Soft and medium 2024 c🔥ompounds were on offer at tꦏhe Valencia test last week, alongside the race weekend allocation.

“It was the first day of the 2024 s𝔍eason,” said Micheꦫlin's MotoGP boss Piero Taramasso.

“But track conditions were not very nice. The morning was cold with wind, the afternoon a l♈ittle bit better but still not perfect. Anyway, the grip level was not bad. Just the temperature was 🦋low.

“All the riders had the same tyre allocation as the race, so they had a reference, then on top of that we ﷽proposed three new fronts.

“Two of the fronts wereღ new compounds for the 2024 season, a ꦬsoft and medium compound. The third was the 2025 front.

“For the new [2024] compounds, 🌳we had some good results. 11 riders tried the soft front and everybody liked it.

“They found it the same or better than the older technology. A little bit more support, more grip, more consistencꩵy. So this is a good indication.

“One rider tried the 🌟mediꦛum front, also he found it positive.

"Now we have a lot of data to analyse and we will bring this new technology of compound for Sepang𒁏 and Qatar, for the front and rear also.”

The 2025 front will be the first complete front tyre designed specifically to deal with the extra forces generated by the aero, ride-height devices and bigger brakes now us♛ed in MotoGP.

By introducing it in two stages - initially just the new compound technology [2024], then the new compounds with th൲e new construction [2025] - it is hoped that teams and riders will be able to adapt to the tyre more eas🍌ily.

Already tried by factory test riders, the 2025 front was available with a hard compound for the race riders at the Valencia test. But the🐽 cool conditions meant it wasn't used and will be offered again at Februar🌟y's Sepang tests.

“The new 2025 tyre has already been validated by the test riders. This [shﷺould have been] the first time for tꦉhe official riders but the conditions were not good enough to test it,” Taramasso confirmed.

“We will bring it again 💟to the next officiaꦏl pre-season tests in Sepang and Qatar.”
