Alpinestars, along with Dainese, are one of the most trusted leather suit brands by MotoGP riders.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo are just some of the r🎐iders who wear Alpinestars.

The development that goes into these race suits is extensive to provide the best comfort, but above all, safety🔯.

For decades knee sliders were need🐓ed for riders, but just over ten years ago the sport was pushed on by the riding styles, which meant elbow sliꩵders were needed.

Chris Hillard, Alpinestars Media Relations Manager, said: "Around 2011/2012 elbows started to hit the floor in a few corners bꦯut then Marc Marquez was really the first proponent to make el๊bow sliders a thing. 

"Through the years we've developed an elbow slider and that's been adopted in all clas𝕴ses. 

"They're all dragging their elbow and when you look these days, 😼in some corners Jorge Martin is starting to drag his shoulder. 

"This is an area where we are constantly evolving. How much a leather suit flexes or wears, probably the best way to demonstrate it is the suit from 1998💞. 

"You can fol𝓡d it away quite easil๊y, but if we take Fabio's [Quartararo] fully armed, fully loaded suit ready for the race weekend it still works exactly the same way, but inside there is a air bag, all types of softer and harder protections inside."

One of the key co𝕴mponents to modern race suits is the air bag system, which Alpinestars have developed and perfected in recent yearꦗs.

It's one of the additions that had led to a reduction in injuries, with Hillard saying🧔: "It was 2009 that we were on-track for the first time with a fully functioning air bag in MotoGP. 

"And in 2018 the FIM saw such a reduction in in▨juries that they made the technology mandatory. 

"It can detect a crash in 14 milliseco🍰nds and then once the algorithm has decided you're going to crash it can fully deploy the air bag in 25 milliseconds."
