After a poor run of recent events, KTM has brought a range of upgrades for wild-card 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro at the factory’s home Austrian MotoGP.

The𓆉 most visible are some radical swingarm-mounted wings, which appeared on the side of Espargaro’s RC16 durinꦺg Friday morning’s opening practice at the Red Bull Ring.

Should the swingarm wings prove a success, they could be used by the KTM race riders this season since they are mounted ou♌tside of the homologation  'Ae🦹ro Body' areas.

🀅The Spaniard also has a new exhaust and, it is 🍸rumoured, a revised engine specification.

While full-time KTM race riders aren't able to change engine design during the season, wild-cards (Espargaro or Dani Pedrosa) can race with different engines due to ꧅the factory’s ‘C’ concessiꦇon ranking.

The same applies to Aprilia, which꧑ has a wild-card entry for Lorenzo Savadori this weekend. Only Honda and Yamaha, currently on a 'D' concession ranking, are free to change engine design for their race riders.

The nꦇew K⛄TM parts made a positive first impression.

Espargaro, who 𓆏has recently tested at the Red Bull Ring track, fastest during the early stages of FP1 and ultimately only out꧂paced by the Pramac Ducatis of title leader Jorge Martin and team-mate Franco Morbidelli.
