Rossi, Marquez and Smith on Bridgestone's decision to bring back 2013-spec tyres for this weekend's COTA race.

Rossi

From my side I am not happy to use the old tyre. I don’t like and I want to use the new one and for me what Bridgestone do this weekend in bringing another time the old tyre after we work a lot on the bike to use the new tyres is something that sincerely I don’t understand.



Marc

“I don’t agree about that and I don’t understand honestly. Some riders, not many, but some complained in Qatar and in the pre-season and now here we have 2013 tyres. We will try to manage but anyway last year we used this tyre and it was working well.”



Smith

“The good thing is that the 2013 tyre being here will clarify everything for Bridgestone. The new 2014 tyres are much better and especially in race conditions so I think it will shut up some riders from whinging and I am excited to get through this weekend and go back to the 2014 spec.
