The final race lap record on the current MotoGP calendar still held by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valentino Rossi is on course t🌼o be b🔯roken in Argentina this weekend.

Rossi set a 1m 30.019s on his way to victory🍷 in the 201💝5 event, which saw Marc Marquez fall after crossing lines with the Italian. 

It was the first of several clashes between Rossi and Marquez that seﷺason, culminating in the infamous Malaysian round.

2015 was also the last year of Bridgestone tyres, with Michelin takinꦍg over for 2016. 

While most Bridgestone lap records fell to Michelin long ago, Phillip Island, Termas de Rio♔ Hondo and Brno proved notable exceptions.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez’s 2013 Phillip Island lap record, set during a pit stop race, was finally beaten by the Spaniard in Au🅰stralia last October.&nb⛄sp;

Michelin beat the Brno pole record back 𓄧in 2016 and will target the race lap record when the circuit returns to the calendar, after a 🐠four-year absence, later this season.

That leaves Argentina, venue for this weekend’s second round of the 2025 campaign, where bothꦦ the official all-time fastest lap (1m 37.683s by Marquez in 2014) and race lap (Rossi in ♏2015) remain on Bridgestone tyres.

But new Ducati Lenovo rider Marquez comfortably br෴oke his 2014 record with a 1m 37.295s during Friday practice for this year's event and, with no more rain expected, Rossi's race lap should finally fall in Sunday's grand prix.

Part of the reason the Bridgest🧸one records have stood for so long is extra caution shown by Michelin following a tyre failure for Scott Redding at Termas de Rio Hondo in 2016, during their first year as MotoGP’s single tyre supplier.

Meanwhile, wet weather in qualifyi🌺ng and the grand prix limited lap times during the most 🃏recent 2023 Argentine event.

Michelin then introduced a revised rear tyre construction for 20꧅24, which set numerous new lap records last year and is making its debut at Termas this weeken♚d.

“This circuit is a unique place in the season, with an asphalt that is quite a🐭ggressive on tyres, yet paradoxically offers low grip due to the infrequent use of the facilities,” said Piero Taramasso, Michelin’s two-wheel motorsport manager.

“Since it has been two years since we last raced here, our partners will have to start from scratch when setting up the bikes, especially considering the significant progress made since our la🅠st visit.

“We have relied on our database to determine the most suitable tyre allꦺ🌺ocation, with compounds similar to those used in 2023 for the front.

“Regarding the rear, we have selected a Soft 𓃲tyre that closely resembles last year’s compound, along with a Medium option that is slightly softer to meet our partners’ needs."
