Moto GP uvodi prvi puta restrikcije za gume od prve trke u 2007, da bi se smanjili troškovi.
Motorcycle racing’s governing body the FIM su rekli u izjavi da će svaki vozač biti ograničen na 31 gumu, tj 14 prednjih i 17 zadnjih.

The statement read "between 12.00 hrs and 17.00 hrs on the day prior to the start of official practice, the Technical Director will mark the tyres available to each entered rider."

The rule has been introduced to try to curb the rate of spending from tyre companies like Michelin.

Michelin have often made tyres on a Friday at their factory and brought them to the track the next morning if their original choice was not up to scratch.

The rule however, only applies to teams using tyres that have won a race since the start of the 2005 season.

This means that Dunlop-tyred teams will be exempted, increasing their chances of moving up the order and could entice new manufacturers into the series.

Wet tyres will not be subjected to limits.
