As Michelin prepares to bid farewell to MotoGP after a decade as the official tyre supplier, a new six-part docuseries titled “Racing on Trust – A decade of Michelin in MotoGP” offers an unfiltered look back at eleven years in the premier class through the eyes of its biggest legends and paddock figures.
Next season, the iconic Michelin Bibendum will no longer pace the MotoGP paddock. Instead, the French manufacturer will head to WorldSBK, replacing Pirelli as the sole tyre provider, while the Italian brand takes over the premier class role.
This switch marks the end of an eleven-year stint as MotoGP’s official supplier, a role Michelin held continuously since 2016. As the campaign draws to a close, the Clermont-Ferrand-based tyre manufacturer is releasing a dedicated docuseries featuring high-profile interviews, archival race footage, and unprecedented behind-the-scenes insights.
Designed to wrap up a decade in the discipline, the docuseries consists of six 10-minute episodes released every Thursday, running from October 8 to November 5. With the first two episodes already available, Episode 1: 2016: The Comeback and Episode 2: Regain Trust, the upcoming lineup features Episode 3: Listen to the Bike, Episode 4: Braking Point, Episode 5: New Era, and Episode 6: Final Sprint.
Far from being a purely technical breakdown reserved for tech aficionados, the project centres on personal accounts and sporting memories, injecting a strong human element into the story. Michelin gives a platform to the riders who were in the hot seat week in, week out, sharing their candid perspectives on the rubber that carried them through both their greatest victories and toughest setbacks.
The series delivers raw, unfiltered recollections of the Michelin era. It is candid enough that Jorge Martin does not hold back when discussing how tyre issues at the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix impacted his championship campaign, crossing the line in a distant tenth and leaving Losail 21 points behind Francesco Bagnaia going into the season finale.
Alongside Martin, legends and current stars, including Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez, Fabio Quartararo, and Johann Zarco, weigh in on their experiences, accompanied by vital behind-the-scenes perspectives from key figures in the paddock.
