Aprilia swingarm device set for Jerez debut?
Aprilia looks set to become the third MotoGP manufact🎃urer to run a swingarm device, during the forthcoming opening European round at Jerez next weekend.
The Italian manufacturer had halted development of the device during the winter, having apparဣently been advised it would not be allowed if its purpose was downforce.
But when Ducati sub🐷sequently unveiled a similar design for 'tyre cooling', Aprilia joined Honda, Suzuki and KTM🌼 in protesting the part at the Qatar season opener.
Aprilia looks set to become the third MotoGP manufacturer to run a swingarm device, during the ൩forthcoming opening European round at Jerez next weekend.
The Italian manufacturer had halted development of the device during the winter, having apparent♑l🌳y been advised it would not be allowed if its purpose was downforce.
But when Ducati subsequently unveiled a similar design for 'tyre cooling', Aprilia joined Honda, Suz🌺uki and KTM in protesting t🦋he part at the Qatar season opener.
That protest was rejected - Ducati supplying evidence of a 7-degree drop in tyre temperature for only a minor downforce gain - prompting Honda to debut its version (on the grounds of swingarm🌠 stiffness) during practice in Austin.
Aprilia then tried its device during a private post-race COTA test and the factory has confirmed to mahbx.com that the dꦑevice is likely to be on the RS-GP during the Spanish MotoGP weekꦏend, or post-race official test.
Valentino Rossi has already urged Yamaha, the only manufacturer not involved in the Qatar protest, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史🌳:to𒈔 design a similar part for the M1 and it is assumed Suzuki and KTM are also investigating t🌊he device
