Ducati Dicer Salad Slicer
Did you hear about the Ducati Dicer Salad Slicer tail "aero?!"
Spoon below the Salad Box "to cool the tire," now Knives above "for aero."
(They are REALLY intended to damage the Inline 4 and Aprilia bikes/riders when they dive bomb pass into corners)
You heard it here first. That "Pecco Bagnaia drinking and crashing a shitty rental car" incident? Subterfuge!
Bagnaia and Miller made the initial design on bar coasters in a secret meeting of Fosters vs Nastro Azzuro chugging contests. Miller had evidently REALLY had enough of Mir's repeated paint swapping passes.
Bagnaia lost (of course) and had to be on the receiving end of initial shakedown testing. Miller? He elected to ride his Panigale fitted with their experimental Salad Slicer "aero" tail section.
The secret shakedown test was conducted early Summer Break. The street course was chosen to maximize aggressive cornering and stops at pubs for "design review" coasters.
That tight roundabout skidpad was JUST what the pissed KTM bound Aussie needed. When Pecco dove in for a barging rental car "Inline 4 line" pass attempt? Miller tore his bike's "tail aero" right through the feeble plastic car bumper and front right tire.
You read it here on trusted Motomatters.com
---- Barely made it through this yr's long Summer Break. THANK MOTO HEAVENS we are back at it! ----
Stegosaurus Aero
Yeah man that is weird looking tech? Burning fermented dinosaur juice so why not take inspiration from old fossils?
Pecco only 11th? He must be under the influenza of some fermented juice. Drink water not your sponsor's product.
We made it Motoshrink, through the 5 weeks in the wilderness. I survived winter in Oz by riding every time the sun came out.
Dovizioso second best
Andrea Dovizioso second best Yamaha again. Only one second per lap off the pace.
Five different manufacturers in the top six. Both Aprilias in the top five. Maverick faster than Aleix!
It is good to be back!
That aged well.
Everybody else got faster over the weekend.
Dino Aero
Not wanting to be outdone by Aprilia in the contest to see who can make the biggest mockery of MotoGP, Ducati have unveiled the new stegosaurus tail on the Gresini bikes.
The best part was hearing
The best part was hearing Danny Aldridge explaining how the aero is not part of the aero.
Four Fin
Inspired by a four fin surfboard perhaps?
LOL @Apical
I ride a quad fin surfboard and am looking forward to a getting a quad fin Ducati :) On seeing Aprilia’s rear T-wing I was waiting to see what the next development would be. I can see merit in stegosaurus tail design, not that I’ll ever be fast enough or lean enough to gain a benefit.
