Hi, TYRES!
It's with some shame that the British Superbikes seem to be going down the road of a single tyre where as MOTOGP seem at least to have rejected the idea in favour of free competiton.
What was interesting is that Michelin tyre chief Daniel Croispine, He said that Michelin prefers to contest free-tyre championships, and suggested that the gap between the fastest and slowest riders in World Superbikes had remained about the same, despite the use of a single-tyre rule.
I've not checked the numbers but I guess that it may be true.
In my opinion, get rid of traction control before you mess with the tyre rules, then the rider has to demonstrate control.
