GETOFF
Last year, Michelin Radials totally
dominated Europe. In the World
Championship Series, they won first
place in the 250cc class. First in the
500cc class. And
for good
measure,
first in the
Endurance
class.
In the 250 Gran Prix, first place
went to Kork Ballington. Ditto, Michelin
Radials.
. And in the Super Bike race, Satoshi
Tsujimoto and his Michelin Radials
came in second. But that's just the
half of it. Kevin Schwantz, also
armed with our radials was the leader

Now

racers everywhere,
Michelin
Radials
are off to
another
fast start.
Take this

As usual, the
racetrack was incredibly brutal. .

who didn t ride our radials.

While in the qualifying sessions,
Freddie Spencer set a new track
record, knocking an amazing 1.656
seconds off the previous one.
His time? 1:54.572. His tires? You
guessed it. Michelin Radials.
All things considered, it's not surprising that over half the Pro riders at
Daytona raced on Michelin.
If this incredible string of victories
doesn t sell you on the Michelin
Radial's incredible performance and
handling, your first ride on them
certainly will.
