At a press conference, Bagnaia was asked what can be improved in tires. He stated that consistency is needed due to differences in performance: – What we asked for in the safety committee in Aragon was more consistency for Michelin tires. It’s something we need because the manufacturers invest a lot in the bikes and then we can see some rounds where if you work a lot over the weekend, you’re strong, and when you get to the race you start having a lot of difficulties and backtracking. Therefore, it’s not easy.’ Similarly, in response to the same question, Rossi showed that he agreed with his opponent: ‘ I agree. The consistency between the tires and always having the same feeling and less difference ‘.
