MotoGP

[RedBull]

Hell! the guy's running in Moto3 on 250's thumpers
are about on par with MotoAmerican SuperSports
and are qualifying higher than the back end of the SuperBikes .

Wondering how they will look with new wings ~ since they outlawed the previous versions of them . . .

Might be this....

Always trying to make a good idea better ~ looks like it will work for speed and function . . .

That's one ugly ass motorsickle.

Likely wont see much of those fairings at the first race this weekend (set your DVR's!), but they will surely evolve as the season progresses.

Last I heard they weren't allowing wings this year?

They have to be integrated within the bodywork. The Genie is out of the bottle now. Everyone is trying crazy stuff now. This is why we cant have nice things.

Even Suzuki is giving it a shot this year . . .

Ducati should have at least a slight leg up in this department. As they were the originators of what became last year's "Winglets War". That and the fact that they can likely leverage Audi's in house aero resources. That being said, their newest offering is anything but aesthetically pleasing, guess that's not the point though.

Who would have that stylish Ducati would use a chopped Harley Davison fairing as inspiration for their MotoGP bike! Lol!

I sure would like to have my front tire looking like that one. At Sonoma one year I saw Elbowz' qualifying front tire that showed (threads) along the edges! No wonder they called him Elbowz.

So theres nothing radical about the fairings as it turns out , at least during FP1 .

FP1

Vinales
Marquez
Pedrosa
Folger
Lorenzo
Baz
Crutchlow
Zarco
Rossi

Sounds like Suzuki was the only one to run the new fairings in FP1, likely trying to get a handle on the chatter Iannone has been complaining about.

I CANT WAIT!!!!! DVR set. As always, I'd like to see three different brands on the podium, makes for great racing and young Vinales and Marquez could really be coming into their own. Cal C deserves a shout out too but for the record, Rossi is still the GOAT.
