The tyre makers are withdrawing from MotoGP after the 2015 season.

I'll see if I can find a link.

Id kinda like to see it go back to Open choice, I know theres the risk of one tyre working well witha specific bike and dominating but There is also the excitement of whose tyres will last and different tyres working at different tracks plus pushes different manufacturers to make new rubber which can only benefit us lower down the pecking order

I cant help but feel Dunlop will swoop in as they already do moto 2 tyres though
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

I'm not suprised tbh. They said if they knew now what demands would be placed on them before they signed the contract they would never have bothered...
