MOTO GP Spoilers - France

Kinda makes you wonder how they could get the tires so wrong on the 800's? I am not sure what differences they have had to make to cater to the power characterisitcs of the 800's but you have to think that the carcasses, compounds etc. would be different between the two. They also made the switch to 16" fronts over the winter. Looks Like Bridestone has done their homework. The days of Michelin domination might be over, but then this is almost exactly what happened in F1.
 
Here's a quote from Rossi about Michelin and Bridgestone. In the interview he says more than what's quoted, but you get the idea,

Wow when Rossi is talking to the press about how bad the Michelin's are you know there is trouble brewing. Here is another clip.

Something is going on when two guys who have never won races before are spanking the the best the world has ever seen week in week out. Maybe it's the tires, Maybe not?

Mugello could be a blood bath! Ducati Blood red that is! weird season so far.
