Video: Michelin thanks MotoGP across the years

Posted: Tuesday 28 October 2008 by koen


Through this commercial TV spot, Michelin thanks all the riders and teams who trusted the tyre manufacturer during 36 years of MotoGP championships. It was broadcast on Eurosport during the last MotoGP round in Valencia. It was the last round for this year but also the last round for Michelin after the new tyre regulation for the championship in 2009. All riders will get Bridgestones tyres on their wheels next year.

It’s a huge list of riders starting with Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Garry McCoy, and so many other riders from today and the past. The slogan at the end “Michelin will never give up” shows what a historic moment this is for the brand, in losing it’s exclusive MotoGP supplier contract.
