Some new tyre compounds, creating using Michelin's latest technology, face one final test before being introduced for the 2019🃏 MotoGP season.

The two rears performed admirably during the opening test of the year at Sepang and, shoul🔯d the situation be repeated at the upcoming Qatar test, they will be phased in during the early part of the season alongside a new front compound (based on existing technology).

"We came here with some new solutions, one front 🐻compound, in between soft and medium, and the two rear compounds, one soft and one medium," saܫid Michelin Motorsport Two-Wheel Manager Piero Taramasso.

"So far the results are very good, so if we re-confirm those results in the Qatar test, we will introduce these three new compounds for the🅠 [2019] season.

"The plan is to introduce the front compound starting from Qatar. For the rear compounds, we may 🌄start to use that from Jerez."

Although the new soft rear was thought to be quicker, it 🙈was the standard version that topped the timesheets courtesy of a new all-time unofficial lap recor🔯d by Ducati's Danilo Petrucci.

However t💙he Italian may well have gone faster had his test not ended prematurely due to a fall, costing him the chance to use the new soft rear he had 'saved 𒁏in the garage'.

Either way, outright performance is only one of the attributes o💮f the 'new technology', which Taramasso described as meaning "a different way to mix the components."

He adဣded: "It is technology we also use for cars. So it works for both. For sure it helps to have information from different kinds of competitions.

"We've already applied this new technology [in MotoGP] last year with one soft compound and it gave us a much larger working 'window' - different tracks, different weathe🅺r," he said.

"So 🌱we appli൩ed that same technology to these other compounds."

Michelin recorded a peak track tempera๊ture in pit lane of 59-degrees during the test, but Taramasso is confident the new tyres will work just as well in cool conditions.

"We need to check again in different tracks with different temperatures. But usually, from our experience, when they work here [at Sepang] - especially the soft compound - then they still work in the same way in cool🌠er conditions."

With the likes of Petrucci and Valentino Rossi stressing t💧he importance of trying to save the tyre during races, an added bonuꦆs of the new compounds is that they have proven to be more consistent over long distances.

"You knowไ, I hope with this technologꦛy we will improve the grip, improve the 'window' working range, but also the consistency," Taramasso said. "So I hope that will be one step to help riders not to have to save the tyre [in a race].

"Anඣother way💫 is [for the riders] not to go with an aggressive tyre choice.

"Because many times they complain about the tyre losing grip and lap time increasi🔯ng, but because they t♏ook the soft specification. If they went with the medium or the hard, for sure they would not have experienced this problem."

The Qatar test takes place from February 23-25.
