The Michelin medium de-laminated on Redding, sending chunks of the tire onto his back on damaging the rear of his bike.  The tire stayed inflated. 

Michelin pulled that tire, and ran an untested Medium.  They mandated a tire swap mid-race.

actually in the end they let the riders choose between the original medium or hard compounds , most went for the medium

Crazy Joe aka The Maniac was not in Dovi's good graces after that move.

Makes me wonder if the Ducati riders knew about a potential Lorenzo signing. Certainly room for only one other rider...Iannone isn't helping his case!

Actually the split race helped Ducati to be so competitive.

Normally they struggle with tyre wear over a full race distance so the bike change with new tyres was just what they needed.

The lunge from Iannone not so much.
