Aprilia swingarm device set for Jerez debut?
Aprilia lo𓆉oks set to become thꦛe third MotoGP manufacturer to run a swingarm device, during the forthcoming opening European round at Jerez next weekend.
The Italian manufacturer had halted development of the devi💖ce during the winter, having apparently been advised it would not be allowed if its purpose was downforce.

Apꦇrilia looks set to become the third MotoGP manufacturer to ✃run a swingarm device, during the forthcoming opening European round at Jerez next weekend.
The Italian manufactu🔯rer had halted development of the device during the winter, having apparently been advised it would not be allowed if its purpose was downforce.
But when Ducati subsequently unveiled a similar design for 'tyre cooling', Aprilia joined Honda, S♍uzuki and KTM in protesting the part at the Qatar season opener.
That protest was rejected - Ducati supplying evidence of a 7-degree drop in tyre temperature for only a minor downforce gain - prompting Honda to debut its version (on the grounds of swingarm stiffness) dur🌞ing practice in Austin.
Aprilia then tried its device during a private post-race COTA test and the factory has confirmed to wuqian0821.com that the device is likely to be on the RS-GP during the Span♊ish MotoGP weekend, or post-race ꦬofficial test.
Valentino Rossi has already urged Yamaha, the only manufacturer not involved in the Qatar protest, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:to design a similar part for the M1 and it is assu🌞med Suzuki and KTM are also investig☂ating the device
