2024: Another tremendous season - Michelin Motorsport

IN MOTOGPTM, MORE THAN 530 RACE WINS SINCE 1973

In 2024, Jorge Martin (Pramac Racing / Ducati) won his first world champion MotoGPTM title. In doing so, he earned Michelin’s 35th crown in motorcycle racing class and emerged as the 18th different rider to secure the title on the French firm’s tyres.

Since the first win in 1973 (with Jack Findley, Suzuki) and the first title in 1976 (with Barry Sheene, Suzuki), we are proud to count more than 500 race wins. Those results were achievable thanks to continual development through the years, from the beginning of slick tyres in 1973, revolutionary radial tyres in 1984 to the more recent bi-compound tyre in 2008.

Ready for 2025 season? Here are the upcoming events.

MOTOGP RIDERS TRUST MICHELIN TYRES

"I couldn’t believe it when I went under 2m01s in Austin. This year, I managed to ride in 2m00s, nearly 3 seconds faster than what I was used to. It really shows how much Michelin’s performances has improved." Maverick Viñales
"The Michelin technician – is part of the crew inside the garage, because we work together and we try to understand what is the best." Miguel Oliveira
"Yeah well, for sure, trusting in a tyre I think is maybe 90 per cent of our job of riding, because tyres are so important. Also, you need to understand a lot the tyre, no? You need to know how it works – also every compound, it depends if it’s soft, medium, you have to understand really fast and for sure trust in it to be fast and it’s one of the most important things." Jorge Martin
"A lot of confidence with these tyres and I think that, since we have been with Michelin for a long time, we have always had this confidence but on this circuit, it is true that I had more." Fabio Quartararo
"In general, the biggest thing out of all the changes that you can make is if you change the tyre or the compound, it can make a world of difference, so I would say that the main thing is tyres at the end of the day. That’s where your performance is." Brad Binder
"What Michelin’s performance gives me is always consistency when I’m pushing. I know exactly what to expect. It’s very predictable, and it’s easy to manage the rear to stay competitive and fast. Of course, doing this in a race is not the easiest job, but it’s where you can make the difference." Francesco Bagnaia

We have been involved in the MotoETM championship since its inception in 2019. This championship is a unique testing ground for innovation. It enables us to accelerate integration of renewable or recycled materials in our tyres and expand our knowledge of electromobility, serving as an accelerator for the development of mass-market ranges. 

For the 2025 season, Michelin collaborated with Ducati to develop a new range that meets the demands of the MotoE world championship, integrating 56% renewable and recycled materials in the rear tyre, and 58% in the front tyre. This contributes to reducing the impact on the planet’s resources, while improving tyre performance.
