Could you imagine going around the world working with motoGP in any capacity? These people are so lucky...I would be a janitor if I could work in motoGP...

No that would be like having motorcross rims, but backwards...I'm not 100% certain but I think they run 16.5" front and rear. Anyway,the rule is that they have to make a selection of 18 front tyres and 22 rear tyres before the race weekend starts.

Combien un pneu pour une Française qui a une Opel avec des vitres Français de la GM Françaises ?? La mesure 167/70 si je me trompe pas.

Gros bisous.
