Mat Oxley: Some Le Mans MotoGP stats for you. Many paddock people don't like this race but I do. Perhaps an emotional attachment to the place from 8 x 24 hour races. Nevertheless I'd obvs rather the GP was at Ricard because there's few racetracks in nicer areas. Cote d'Azur beaches.

Dalla Igna responds to allegations: "We are working in the MSMA to have for the future a reliable system to control tyre pressure. We are all using different sensors"
Piero Taramasso: The Michelin manager: "Having lower tyre pressures does not automatically mean being at an advantage. You need to know how to read the data and it's not easy"
