It's no secret that in the wake of the wing ban, MotoGP manufacturers are trying to discover exactly what they can and can't get 🌠away with in 2017.

The new rules state: "It is not permitted to add any device or shape to the fairing or body😼work that is not integrated in the body streamlining (eg. wings, fins, bulges, etc.), that may provide an aerodynamic effect (eg. providing downforce, disrupting aerodynamic wake, etc.). Th🍬e Technical Director will be the sole judge of whether a device or fairing design falls into the above definition."

While '2017' machines have already been seen during testing, next 🐻year's fairing designs are far fromཧ finalised.

Ducati's decision to test with wings still fitted to its 2017 Desmosedici prompted speculation they have found a way to keep downforce w🐼hile staying within the new rules. Ducati state the wings were kept for 'chassis comparisons', but if nothing else it proved that the GP17 fairing is yet to be seen.

"For next year ♓we have to completely change the aerodynamics of the bike, and for sure we are not ready at the moment with the new aerodynamics," said Ducati Corse general ma♛nager Gigi Dall'Igna.

Meanwhile, Herve Poncharal revealed that Yamaha had 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:'brought a very special fairing' to the Valencia test, aimed at repli꧙cating the performance of the winglets.

As the 'sole judge' of what is and isn't legal next season, MotoG𓆏P Technical Director Danny Aldridge confirmed that Yamaha, like 'most manufacturers', has submitted a number of fairing designs for review.

"I can confirm that Yamaha have shown me various designs of fairings - and some in Valencia - to know if they will be legal or not in 2017," Aldridge told wuqian0821.com.

"I cannot say too much about the actual designs, but I basically informed them of what would be approved𓂃 and what would not. It's not only Yamaha that are submitting designs, most of the other manufacturers have also done the same."

Asked how the design submissions have been made,𓃲 Aldridge responded that some manufacturers supplied 3D CAD drawings while others provided complete ready-to-test fairings.

"To me,♒ it makes sense to work only with 🅷drawings until you get approval, but if a manufacturer prefers to produce the fairing, that's their choice and money!"

𒁃Using the feedback from Aldridge, manufacturers will complete their 2017 fairing designs ready for pre-season tests at Sepang, Phillip Island and Qa♉tar.

But the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:new limit on fairing updates (one per rider, per season) raises the possibility tha♌t some teams may wait until the last moment to debut their 2017 designs, for example only at the Qatar 🌺test.

That would allow a manufacturer to check the fairing works as planned with their race riders, but make it difficult for rivals to respond/copy the design before the start of 💫the season - at which point they are limited to only one fairing update.

Ducati chose the Qatar test to de🉐🍬but the new generation of MotoGP winglets, just before the opening race of 2015.
