A special exemption has been added to the MotoGP aerodynamic rules for 2020🌜, allowing factories to rem🌞ove their side pods (winglets) during the Australian Grand Prix weekend.

Normally, such fairing alternations would count as a change of design and so not be possible unde🙈r the Aero Body homologation rules, unless the wingless version of the fairing was to be registered as the rider's only design update of the seaso🌸n.

'For safety reasons it will be permitted for teams to remove the side pods from the aero body,' the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:new 'Phillip Island' rule states.

'The conditions are that all side pods are removed, and it does not affect the external profile of the homologated fairing. All modificꦫations must be pꦦreapproved by the Technical Director.'

The move follows the cancellation of Saturday qualifying due to strong gusts of wind during l𓄧ast O👍ctober's Phillip Island event and implies that use of the wings increases the risk of being blown off track.

But Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso isn't so sure.

"I don’t understand who said riding without winglets at Phillip Island is better. I’m not convinced a🍎bout that," said the Italian.

"I think t🙈he winglets keep the front low, which is much better [in windy conditions].

"For sure there are negative things [about the wings] because when leaning on the side maybe it’s a bit worse, the bike is heavier. But m𝐆aybe it’s safer [for crosswinds].

"I don’t know if tܫhat change of the rules will affect or change anything at Phillip Island."

While the wing exemption currently only appli✅es to the Australian round, 'Race Direction will be responsible for determining and announcing if this concession will apply at any ꦉother events, based on adverse weather conditions.'
