MotoGP Sepang test: Michelin withdraw soft tyre after Baz crash

Michelin have withdrawn their soft compound from the tyre allocation at Sepang’s MotoGP test after Loris Baz went through a massive, 180mph accident after what could be a tyre split on the pit straight.

Baz was lucky to walk away unscathed from the accident using the tyre on which the top men had set some fast times including fastest man Danilo Petrucci. Michelin and the Avintia Ducati team are investigating the cause of the failure. Baz’s team-mate Hector Barbera was forced to stay in his garage until late on in the day but still set the third quickest time.
