MotoGP: Tech3 Yamaha will run Michelin in 2008

SATELLITE Yamaha team, Tech3 Yamaha, will ditch Dunlop for Michelin in 2008.

The squad have struggled with Dunlop tyres, with riders like Ellison, Melandri, Checa and Tamada all failing to find a competitive edge on the Tech3 package.

Britain's James Toseland has signed for Tech3 Yamaha in 2008 and is expected to be joined by Valentino Rossi's current team mate, Colin Edwards.
