In the aftermath of the Ducati swingarm spoiler protest, MotoGP Technical Director Danny Aldridge has explained why he issues guidelines alongside the official rules decided by the MSMA (Motorcycle Sports Manufacturers’ Association).

Earlier this week, the MotoGP Court of Appeal confirmed Andrea Dovizioso as winner of the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix by rejecting a protest made against Ducati's swingarm spoiler by Honda, Suzuki, Aprilia and KTM.

Now that the MotoGP Court of Appeal has confirmed the Ducati swingarm spoiler is legal, rival manufacturers will have no choice but to develop a similar device of their own.
