Ruben Xaus won on street tires...?

    I just watched the Imola WSB races, and it seems like I'm the only one who
    went "hum" when Ruben Xaus told Suzi Perry during the post race-2
    interview:
    "The tires were fine, Michelin wanted to show to
    everyone that they can win with a street tire design
    and they did today. We did even better lap times than
    the slick tires in race-1"

    Did he really race the Michelin H2's or something... or was this just a
    marketing ploy..? I'm confused (more than usual).

    Looked like a cut slick to me.....
    You can do it when over-heating is not a problem.
