Edith, you stupid woman!

There is a min tyre pressure rule which means when tested at the end of a race, they have to have 1.9bar pressure in the front.
As you know from racing, tyres get hot. Hot tyres increase the gas pressure inside the tyre. Michelin race slicks turn greasy when too hard so teams are constantly guessing how much pressure to run, and if they get it wrong, it's either a penalty or 12th.

Hth
Perfect. Thank you

So, I guess the fact there are more problems at the mo is because they are racing somewhere hot?

Or have I just missed all the previous infringement penalties??

(And, TBF, I didn't know they tested the pressures at the end of the race!!!)
Pay attention in the Savoie
It was brought in mid season, slapped wrists to begin with, but now penalties are flying around like confetti
:lol: :lol: :lol:


Riiiight!! LOL No idea how I missed that - probably cos listening in French and those words didn't register!! LOL Must try harder next season (well, must get a VPN so I can blooming well watch it in English!! LOL)
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

Alvaro's very cross with himself and the team made him wear a silly hat to cover his pigtails. :(
