a few articles I read suggested that an investigation found it was a mechanical issue on the bike that damaged the tyre but it's all a bit vague as there was no confirmation either way from Michelin

That would tie in with the suggestion that they will re-introduce that soft tyre but I've read no more than that as I've been pretty much under the cosh the last few days.
