Leading MotoGP riders don’t feel a change of rules regarding tyrꦉe pressures is needed following Maverick Vinales having his Qatar Grand Prix p꧙odium stripped for breaking this.

Tech3 KTM rider Vinales stunned when he came from sixth on tꦛhe grid to lead the Qatar GP on a package that has l🐷ooked uncompetitive all year to that point.

He ultimately took the chequered flag in second but was dropped to 14th after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果𒈔历史:falling foul of MotoGP’s tyre pressure rules.

Current regulations state that a rider must be within the 1.8 bar pressure minimum for the front tyre for 60% of a grand prix, with failu🐻re to do so resulting in a 16-second time penalty.

Becaꦑuse Vinales had started on row two and was expected to fight in a pack of riders, KTM didn’t set his tyre pressure to account for him running in free air at the lead of the grand prix.

The rule has bee♊n heavil🌺y criticised since it was introduced last year, with Michelin pushing for the regulation on safety grounds.

Reflecting on it ahead of this weekend’s Spanish GP, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez says the rule must remain but perhaps Michelin could reduce the distance thresh🌱old ℱfrom 60%.

“For me, the thing is the q෴uestion of safety, as Michelin say,” he said.

“The only thing that we🎃 can work on is maybe trying to underst🌌and - if it’s safe - if we can reduce the percentage of the laps.

“I mean, less laps in that tyre pressure because wh꧅en Vinales led the race and it dropped and then it never recovered again.

“So, the only thing I see is reduce the percentꦯage but always Michelin needs to accept because it’s a matter of safety.”

At the Thai GP, Marc Marquez dropped behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez to b🐟oost his tyre pressure to avoid a similar penalty.

Others were less sympathetic towards Vinales, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia noting: “Rul𝕴es are rul🔴es and you need to stay over this limit that Michelin put for safety.

“It’s true that years ago we were racing with the same🌊 tyre but with a lower pressure.

“🧔But I think the limit we had in Qatar was very low. So, I think that in this situation the limit can stay there without penalising our performance and we can continue like this.”

Alex Marquez added: “Maybe ﷽you can adjust that [distance threshold] a little bit, but it’s the rule for everybody and it’s there. The competition is also these details.”
