Michelin has clarified that Aprilia’s recent performance advantage in MotoGP is not due to any special rear tires.
The tire manufacturer stated that all teams receive the exact same tire allocations during every race weekend.
Instead, experts suggest that Aprilia has discovered “something extra” within the mechanical grip of their bike.
The RS-GP has shown remarkable efficiency in how it manages tire temperature and overall degradation.
Michelin’s technical director noted that Aprilia’s aero package also helps in maximizing the tire’s contact patch.
This unique technical setup allows their riders to maintain higher corner speeds compared to their main rivals.
As the season progresses, other manufacturers are now closely studying Aprilia’s secret to finding more grip.
