Brad Binder’s new all-time MotoGP speed record of 366.1km/h (227.5mph) during last year’s Mugello Sprint race was not a concern for tyre supplier Michelin.
According to Michelin’s MotoGP boss Piero Taramasso, their tires are capable of handling speeds over 400km/h. Brad Binder, who set a new speed record at Mugello, stated that his KTM was not even at its maximum speed yet, hinting that there is still room for improvement. He also mentioned that the increase in speed is not really felt until you brake at the same point and realize you are going significantly faster. The list provided showcases the evolution of MotoGP top speeds at Mugello since the final year of the 500cc era in 2001. As MotoGP bikes now reach speeds 50km/h faster than before, regulating top speeds has become a target for future technical rules.
