Michelin announced on September 28 that it “notes with interest” the decision to move to a single tyre supplier for the 2009 MotoGP World Championship. The French tyre major has referred to this decision as a “major change” and comments that it remains very committed to the series.

In a press statement the company said “Michelin is examining the opportunities offered by these new regulations and will make an announcement in the next few days as to whether or not the company will tender to supply tyres to the premier class championship that Michelin has won on 26 occasions since 1973.”
