Michelin currently selects three different rear ty🅷re options – a soft, medium and hard - for use at each MotoGP race weekend.

Each rider then receives a total of 12 rear tyres: a m🍸aximum of six of the soft💛 specification, four of the medium and three of the hard.

Michelin also sometimes of꧃f♋ers an extra (fourth) tyre option in the case of a new circuit or untested track surface.

A Grand Prix Commission statement explained that in order to ‘decrease the numb𒐪er of tyres that are produced and transported by Michelin but ultimately not used’ a ‘survey was conducted amongst all MotoGP class teams in order to determine future tyre allocations’.

The feedback fro🐻m the teams was ‘overwhelmingly’ in favour of having just two rear slick specifications at each event fro𒊎m 2023.

Michelin will decide which two specifications are brought to each round next season - soft and medium, medium and hard, or 💦soft and hard – with the&n𓆉bsp;12-tyre total then being divided as follows:

7 soft + 5 medium

or

7 medium + 5 hard

or

7 soft + 5 hard

All three of the current rear tyrꦛe options could be used in Sunday's Catalunya MotoGP race.
