MotoGP riders have voiced concerns about the enforcement of the tyre pressure rules at the BritishGP, with Aleix Espargaro warning of “boring” races as a result ⬇️

From this weekend’s Silverstone round, the new Tyre Pressure Management System will come into use, which measures the pressure of front and rear compounds.

This has been brought in as a safety measure to stop teams using tyres incorrectly in regards to pressure. However, this front pressure minimum has raised concerns over safety, as the more the tyre balloons, the less grip there is. “Very good idea, because we will see bikes with one second between them, 100%. I said after Assen… I don’t want it to sound bad but I was faster than Brad [Binder] in Assen but I couldn’t get closer to him because he brakes super late and I couldn’t overtake him and my pressure was too high, so I spent all the race at one second until the last lap when I got closer to him to try and overtake. And this is what you will see.
