Och så klart kungen av MotoGP i år, #27: "At the beginning of the season, Valentino and the others were all for the new tyre rules. But as soon as they don't win, the rule is crap. I've had my bad races this year, especially in Germany, and I'm not complaining about the tyre rule. They can moan and whinge about it as much as they want, but it shows that Michelin have had an advantage in the past. This season, they cannot bring a tyre in just for the race and it's a matter of relying on the company that supports you to do a good job."
