One tire rule confirmed at Japan for next year

[superjohn]

I like a single tire rule because I do think it evens out the field more. However, I would like to see a rotational contract. Bridgestone one year, then Dunlop, then Michilin, so on and so forth. That way you preserve competition, allow innovation, and still balance the field.

that would be a nightmare for the technicians.  and the riders.

Well, we've just wrapped a stupendous qualifying session for the first race of the year here in MotoGP!
As you likely know, this year Cheng Shin is the spec tire.

Ant West is on the pole.
All of the other riders fell before they could complete one lap.
The balance of the grid will be assigned by age.

Tune in for an exciting race tomorrow!
