Danny Aldridge, MotoGP technical director, explained before the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Australian MotoGP: “Normally, the teams can’t ꦯchange the aero-body. It🐬’s fixed for the season, with one permitted upgrade.

“But, for safeꩵty reasons, we do allow them to ♏remove the sidepods.

“When we talk about safety, we are talking about✨ weather conditions. Extreme win🔯d, mainly.

“Phillip Island is very prone ღ🐈to wind, and unusual wind gusts.

“So part of th𝔍e regulations allow them to remove 💝the sidepods in specific tracks - at the moment, the rule only allows Phillip Island.

“When we say remove the s🎶idepods? It has to be the ent🌠ire sidepods.

“Using Ducati as an example, they have the upper, middle and lower sidepods. The whole free package must be removed. They can’t just cho💝ose the top or bottom - it must be all.

“The profile of the ⛄fairing must stay consistent, as per the homo๊logation.

 

“They must then prove to me that it’s༒ only the sidepod that has been removed.

“Basically, the streamline effect s✱tays the same. The sidepods are basically just cut off.

“We want toꦛ give the manufacturers and teams🍒 the opportunity to ride safely.

“When we decided to rule for everybody, t🐻his was one of the questions that was raised. We all agreed unan🅺imously.

“At Phillip Island, because it is in th🐷e 𓄧rulebook, they can remove the sidepods because it is their choosing.

“There are no ot💯her circuits in the rulebook bꦗut we have the opportunity to add it, as necessary.”
