MotoGP: Wheel covers, wings on final day of Sepang private test

The final day of this w꧃eek's private Sepang MotoGP test saw Ducati unveil yet another technical develop🅠ment, and Yamaha appear with white wings on their M1.
As on t🙈he previous two days, a damp track delayed the start of testing - and was followed by an afternoon rain storm.
In between the MotoGP test teams present - from all six manufacturers -💯 got their final chance to check their machines in the dry, prior to handing them to the race riders in next week's official test.
Ducati - which caused a stir on Wednesday with a myster🐓ious new black ('salad') box under the t🎐ail unit of the GP17 - again rolled-out visible new developments on Friday.
This time, Michele Pirro appeared on track w🍨ith 'lenticular' wheel covers. The Italian had briefly tried a similar (more extreme) version on the rear wheel during last September's Misano round, but this time they were fitted front and rear (see picture).
A𓂃t Misano, Ducati had said the covers were 'for the evaluation of aerodynamics'.
