山葉車隊老闆 Brivio 承認他們仍可能改變2008年的輪胎供應
商，但是否認已經和 Bridgestone 簽約讓 Rossi 改用該廠輪胎。
Yamaha team boss Davide Brivio has admitted that they could still
switch tyre suppliers for 2008, but denied that a deal to run Valentino
Rossi on Bridgestones has already been done.
雖然上個月，出現山葉和 Michelin 將會繼續他們的合作關係邁向下個賽
季，但是，在澳洲站出現大量謠言流傳，山葉車隊也許會轉而使用Bridgestone，
或者只有 Rossi 獲得日本輪胎的供應。
Although it had appeared last month that Yamaha and Michelin would
continue their relationship into next season, rumours abounded in
Australia that the team would either switch to Bridgestone or source a
supply of the Japanese tyres for Rossi's bike only.
Rossi 的言論增加了這些推測的可靠性，藉由他承認要求改用 Bridgestone，
而他隨後重申對於 Michelin 現在不佳表現表示不滿，在以第三名完賽後。
Rossi heightened the speculation by confirming that he had requested
Bridgestone tyres, and he then reiterated his criticism of Michelin's
current performance after finishing third in the race.
這情形將更進一步的複雜化，因為「 MotoGP 可能將在 2008 採用單一
輪胎」，這週末的馬來西亞站，這項提議將得到決定性的答覆。 Dorna
老闆 Carmelo Ezpeleta 在澳洲Phillip Island站暗示，輪胎戰爭很有可能
繼續下去。
The situation is further complicated by the possibility that MotoGP will
introduce a control tyre for 2008, with a decision on the proposal due
by this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix. Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta
hinted at Phillip Island that it was now more likely that the tyre war
would be allowed to continue.
Brivio 說 Yamaha 將不會做任何關於他們輪胎選擇的動作，直到在雪邦
的公告後，但是承認，一旦情勢比較明瞭，他們可能評估 Michelin 的"替
代選擇"。
Brivio said that Yamaha would not make any moves regarding their
tyre choice until after the Sepang announcement, but conceded that
they might evaluate an 'alternative' to Michelin once the situation was
clearer.
"此刻，我們還沒有決定任何事，"他告訴 Gazzetta dello。
"有一份來自聯盟(FIM)的提議，說明年將使用單一輪胎，但是這議題的
答案將在下週末出現。"
"At the moment we haven't decided anything," he told Gazzetta dello
Sport. "There is a proposal from the federation to use a single tyre next
year, but a decision on the matter will only be taken next weekend.
"如果這議題沒有獲得核准，這就如同，在一個自由市場中，每個人將可以
嘗試拿到最關鍵的材料(輪胎)。"
"If it doesn't get approved, as it happens in a free market, everyone
will try to get the best material available.
"我們將會作一些考量，我們將和 Michelin 談談，而我們可能評估一些替代
選擇。"
"We'll make some considerations, we'll talk to Michelin and we'll possibly
evaluate some alternatives.
"但是，我完全否認現在正在進行中談話或協議。"
"But I absolutely deny that there is an agreement or ongoing talks at the
moment."
天使大~~~
小弟看完這則News有些問題..
1.
山葉真的換了B胎，能馬上有好表現嗎？
胎廠需要一些賽車的資料才能製造出搭配該車的胎吧？
2.
Bridgestone有說採單一制的話，它無法承受那麼多車子的需求
您覺得真的會變單一制嗎？
變單一制，比賽會變更接近更刺激嗎？
3.
Dunlop會該怎麼辦?? (都沒他們的消息...小廠的悲哀??
)
