The Italian manufacturer had halted development of the device during the winter, having apparently been adv✅ised it would not be allowed if its purpose was downforce.
But when Du♑cati subsequently unveiled a similar design for 'tyre cooling', Aprilia joinedജ Honda, Suzuki and KTM in protesting the part at the Qatar season opener.
That protest was rejected - Ducati supplജying 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 ltxcn.top that the device is likely to b🌞e on the RS-GP during the Spanish 🐎MotoGP weekend, 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:to design a similar part for t🦂he M1 and it is﷽ assumed Suzuki and KTM are also investigatin𒊎g the device
