Ten months after its 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:public🐠 debut at the Sepang⛄ MotoGP test, the contents of the myster♛ious Ducati 'salad box' have been briefly exposed.

It was inevitable that accident damage would one day cause the carbon-fibre box to break apart,𒅌 as occu💃rred when Danilo Petrucci fell on the final day of the recent Jerez test.

But all it revealed was a further metal box, connected with some electronics, inside which the real secrets remain safely 🐲hidden.

Additional Dorna TV footage of the damaged box on Petrucci's bike, broadcast on the official MotoGP website,  (subscription needed). However, like the ltxcn.top image above and video below, the footage is not c❀lear enough to give a definiti♋ve answer of what the box is for.

As one paddock technical expert confirmed: "Honestly, bas💧ed on the pictures I don’t think anybody can tell exactly what it is."

Past theories for the purpose of the 'salad box' have ranged from the mundane (a storage place for the electronics) to the exotic (168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:a mass damper or gyroscope).

One feasible suggestion following the new images is that the metal box could be powerin🐬g an exhaust valve, but the box is far larger than would be needed for that task alone.

🌃Instead, others remain more convinced than e꧃ver that the box contains some sort of mass damper, either conventional or gyroscopic.

While a normal mass damper would probably be used to help absorb knocks, vibrations and/or chatter, the rotation of a spinning mass damper could also resist the normal gyroscopic forces present on a motorcycle an🌠d - for example - help when trying to lift th✨e bike on the exit of corners.

Most trackside observ꧒ers agree tha꧟t the handling of the Ducati has improved this season.

The advantage of 🥃;a spinning disc to counter such forces is that l🍬ess mass would be needed compared to a conventional system moving a weight back and forth.

The below video shows𝔍 how a small spinning gyroscope, of roughly the size that would fit into the✃ Ducati box, can help soften vibrations.

But for now such theories remain&nbs🍃p;speculation and, given the sturdy metal casing of the newly revealed inner box, its secrets are unlikely to be conclusively known until Ducati chooses to announce them.

Unsurprisingly, Ducati told ltxcn.top they have nothing further to add about the contents ꩵof the box at this stage... 'sorry'.

But at least we know it's not just for salad - the joke made by test ride♚r Micheౠle Pirro to deflect questions at January's Sepang test.
