Overview

• The tyres were manufactured alongside others on the same machines using identical materials with no initial anomalies detected
• Telemetry data showed temperatures, grip levels and wheelspin during Bagnaia’s first four laps matched those of other Ducati riders
• Bagnaia’s rear tyre degraded within three laps, causing massive wheelspin at the start, violent shaking on the straights and front-brake pad knock-back
• Bagnaia retired on lap eight when brake knock-back left him effectively without front brakes into Turn 1, prompting his decision to stop
• Michelin and Ducati engineers will continue joint analysis of bike and tyre data as Bagnaia turns his focus to Sunday’s main Austrian Grand Prix race
