Michelin withdrew its soft compound from use for the remainder of the test right after Baz’s crash.
The soft Michelin rear tire of Avintia Ducati rider Loris Baz suffered a main blowout at 180 mph throughout the morning session of the opening MotoGP 2016 season test, at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, on Tuesday February 2nd. Baz walked away from the crash with only minor bruising and was able to resume testing later the exact same day.
The Tech-Air Race airbag method housed within Baz’s Alpinestars leathers deployed when he was launched from the bike. The first effect with the track took place 60 milliseconds later. The highest power influence was recorded at 29.9g’s on his left shoulder. From the moment that Loris impacted the track, the duration of the slide lasted for 6.6 seconds.
As a outcome of the incident, the Grand Prix Commission decided to implement a mandatory tire stress sensors rule. “The method to do this will be proposed by the MSMA members in Phillip Island and this concern is one thing to resolve instantly,” said MotoGP chief Carmelo Ezpeleta.
The next pre-season test takes place at Phillip Island on February 17-19.
