Zarco sucks.

Poll Choice #5 - Asterisk hangs over season and we have ifs and buts dominating GP threads until March 2020.

Poll Choice #6 - Haga deserved it.

Legal,

thought duc litearlly was challenged and gp tech said it was legal because it wasnt mounted to swingarm and actually to the frame/fairing

:wtf

It’s very clearly mounted to the swingarm.

I think that is the basis of Ducati’s argument. Aero rules only apply to the fairing and fender. Since this is mounted to the swingarm, aero restrictions do not apply.

Also, it’s for cooling the tire *wink wink*, but it’s also not for cooling the tire, but they can’t tell you what it’s for, but it’s for cooling the rear tire.

We have a ruling

Interesting. I wonder if there was some minor difference between Aprilia's device that was ruled illegal and Ducati's device which is now ruled as legal.

I believe Rossi was using one last year during a wet practice and or race. No one said anything about it

That's because it's allowed under the rules.

Spoilers for everyone!

I read it wrong

By mounting the 'cooler' on the swingarm, Ducati avoided the MotoGP 'Aero Body' rules, which limit each rider to one fairing update during the season.

Ruling stands, spoiler is legal, not sure wtf they were thinking this pr stunt was going to over rule the technical directors decision???....
common :x

Lets see ducs counter suit for honda fairings........

I can't wait to see what Yamaha and Honda bolt on their swingarms. I can see some sort of F1-esque upside down front wing thingy hanging low...

...so that it scoops up air and directs it onto the tire. Definitely not for downforce.

"It is a shame that to get this result we had to spend our time and money with lawyers and reveal to the competitors our understanding about tyre cooling."

I think this was the true intent of the other manufacturers... Development paid by Ducati...
