Danny Aldridge, MotoGP technical director, explained before the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Australian MotoGP: “Normally, the teams can’t change the aero-body. It’s fixed for the season, with 🤪one permitt൲ed upgrade.

“But, for safety reasons, we do allow them to remove the side𝓡pods.

🐼“When we talk about safety, we are talking about weather ಌconditions. Extreme wind, mainly.

“Ph🐻illip Islandܫ is very prone to wind, and unusual wind gusts.

“So part of the regulations allow them to remove the sidepods in specifꦺic tracks - at the moment, the rule only allows Phillip Island.

“When we say rem🦩ove the sidepods? It has to be th꧅e entire sidepods.

“Using Ducati as an example, they have the upper, middle and lower sidepods. The whole free package must be removed. They can’t just chooꩵse the top or bottom - it must be all.

“The profile of the fairing must stay consistent♌,♑ as per the homologation.

 

“They must then prove to me tꦜhat it’s only the༺ sidepod that has been removed.

“Basically, the streamline eꦉffect🍨 stays the same. The sidepods are basically just cut off.

“We want to𝕴 give the♈ manufacturers and teams the opportunity to ride safely.

“When we deciꦚded to rule for everybody, this was one of the questions that was raised. We all agreed unanimously.

“At Phillip Island, because it is in the rulebook, they can remove 🅘the sidepods because it is their choosing.

“There are 💮no other circuits in the rulebook but we have the 𓆏opportunity to add it, as necessary.”
