Just read this one. After reading it, and seeing the pic, I can not believe that Pedrosa did as well as he did. :confused1: I reckon Bridgestone owe him a carton. Or two.

Wow. Ignorance is bliss...

I wonder if he would have still ridden at the same pace if he could see that

Looks like that's the sort of wear you get when your suspension is working spot on, minus the chunks of course.

You mean Rossi has asked for another one, which means it will happen. LOL

Its their first season & a couple of races in .. F1 was the same.. some funny things happened to the tyres.

I wonder had Michellin been smart/intelligent enough to put a bid in would this had happened to them?

Just an update on this one - Bridgestone have now analysed the tyre, and have announced that the strange tears were the result of a "foreign object" that had become "embedded" in the tyre.

What they haven't said is whether the foreign object had become embedded during the manufacturing process, or whether it was something that had been picked up on the track.

The full story is here: http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/147045/1/foreign_object_in_pedrosas_motegi_tyre.html
