Codge, I think you can't protest until its actually in use in a race or qualifying. As I stated previously, I believe the protest was more about clarity and getting Ducati to divulge more info than actually being malicious. Now lets go racing!
The right decision....If Gigi and his mates exploited a loophole then it is the rule that is wrong ( or badly worded perhaps ) and not Ducati.
The four protesters were within their rights but why on Earth did they wait until after the race to do it ?
Either way the protesters got what they wanted....ie clarification.
notice it... is this fair..???
"prove to the Court of Appeal that the main purpose of the device was to cool the tyre and any downforce gains were secondary."
not 'downfirce gains were secondary' so who is say ducati does not gain benefit although it just secondary impact...
sorry my language... "very stupid if this part does not give aerodinamyc impact.."
very vulgar way to carry out the mission to triumphs europe morobike in motogp class....
now is just secondary impact, and next fully aerodinamic impact.. and all factory use aerodinamyc design... and so on....
stupidity..
AusssieNSW.....Since the naughty piece of decoration first appeared I have thought that the angle of the 'vanes' is far too steep to achieve the required downforce. In your experience how wrong am I ?
Surely an upsidedown airoplane wing laying flat would be more likely to work and with less drag ?
Well, at least it is "Legal", now let's redefine the role of the swingarm, and hook up wings on it left right and center. We're going to start seeing some very interesting and creative bikes this year, that's for sure, all thanks to Ducati
