Michelin’s Piero Ta🎶ramasso says “there are no problems” with the tyres Aprilia’s Jorge Martin was using when he crashed heavily on day one of the Sepang MotoGP test.

The reigning world champion crashed twice in quick succession early on day one of the Sepang pre-season test, with the second a vicious highside that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:left him with multiple fractures.

The injuries ruled Martin ouཧt of the remainder of the test and have jeopardised the rest of his pre-season as he heads home for surgery on Friday 𒀰in Spain.

Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola told the media on Wednesday that the team’s data showed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:there were no issues with the rider🍸 or the bike, and that the𓆏 tyres he used were in the correct operating window.

Stopping short of blaming Michelin directly for the crash, Taramasso has defended the tyre manufa✅cturer by stating its own invest🐎igations found no problems with Martin’s rubber.

“When there are these accidents we always have to look for the reason and logically the tyres are part of the bike and the wh🐼ole system,” he told Sky Italy on Thursday.

“We looked at Jorge's rear tyre: as far as traceability is concerned, this tyre was manufactured last year, it was never heated and 🐬therefore had all the qualities to be a high-performance tyre and that's why we brought it here.

“We looke💯d at the tyre after the runs that Jorge did and it worked well: you can see it from th♐e look, it worked both left and right.

“When tyres don't wo🧸rk they always have that shiny, smoo🐷th look and that wasn't the case for Jorge's tyre.

“Then also a🔯nalysing the lap times: he did a run for the first four-five laps on the times of the other riders, in the second run he 𓄧was faster than riders like [Francesco] Bagnaia and [Brad] Binder.

“And💜 then he had the two crashes: it's a bit strange that he kept it for 13 laps; usually when a tyre doesn't work the riders come ꦬback and ask to change it after two-three laps.

“And as Massimo Rivola rightly said, the pressures an𓆏d temperatu🌺res were fine.

“Everything was working well from a tyre point of view. For us, f🔯rom what we have seen so far and the data we have, there are no problems.”

Despite the fractures, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aprilia confirmed on Thursday that Martin had suffeꩲred 𝓀no serious injuries and the marque is hopeful he will be ready for the first round of the season in Thailand at the end of the month.

Should Martin miss the second test in Buriram next week, he 💝will begin his first season with the factory Aprilia squad and as reigning world champion having completed only🎶 90 laps on the RS-GP.
