Apologies, I stand corrected, was it the previous year I'm referring to?
I'm in favour of control tyres, just let people make the transition (should it go ahead) as and when they change their rubber. I'm in agreement with you there Miss R, I like Pirelli too, all my road bikes have had them on but are they becoming a bit rare and expensive? We've got to keep control tyres or like you said it'd be manic in the paddock 10 mins before a race in dodgy conditions. I was with no22er at our first Cadwell meet and he changed twice in 20 mins, ended up going out on wets, came in a season's worst at 11th and ruined £270 worth of tyre because it dried out. It did make me smile though as my only concern was do I have a tea or coffee as he struggled juggling his wheels.
Not broke so don't fix, I'd go for that too.
