It's no secret that in the wake of the wing ban, MotoGP manufacturers 𝔍are trying to discover exactly what they can and can't get away with in 2017.

The new rules state: "It is not permitted to add any device🐼 or shape to the fairing or bodywork that is not integrated in the body streamlining (eg. wings, fins, bulges, etc.), that may provide an aerodynamic effect (eg. providing downforce, disrupting aerodynamic wake, etc.). The Technical Director will be the sole judge of whether a device or fairing design falls into the above definition."

🍨While '2017' machines have already b🥃een seen during testing, next year's fairing designs are far from finalised.

Ducati's decision to test with wings still fitted to its 2017 Desmosedici prompted speculation they have found a way to keep downforce while staying within the new rules. Ducati state the wings were kept for 'chassis comparisons',🌱 but if nothing else it proved that the GP17 fairing is yet t🃏o be seen.

"For next year we have to completely change the aerodyna♊mics of the bike, and for sure we are not ready at the moment with the new aerodynamics," said Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall'Igna.

Meanwhile, Herve Poncharal revealed that Yamaha had 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:'brought a very special fairing' to the Valencia test, aimed at replicating the performan🍬ce🉐 of the winglets.

As the 'sole judge' of what is and isn't legal next season, MotoGP Technical Director Danny Aldridge confirmed that Yamaha, like 'most manufacturers', has submitted a number of fai𒁏ring designs for review.

"I can confirm that Yamaha have shown me various designs of fairings - and some in Valencia - to know if they will be legal or not in 2017," Aldridge told mahbx.com.

"I cannot say too♛ much about the actual designs, but I basically informed them of what would be approved and what would not. It's not only Yamaha that are submꦛitting designs, most of the other manufacturers have also done the same."

Asked how the design submissions have been made, Aldridge responded that some manufactur🗹ers supplied 3D CAD drawing📖s while others provided complete ready-to-test fairings.

"To me, it makes sense to work only with drawings until you get approv𒉰al, but if a manufacturer prefers to produce the fairing, that's their choice and money!"

Usi⭕ng the feedback from Aldridge, manufacturers will complete their 2017 fairing designs ready for pre-season tests at Sepang, Phillip Is♒land and Qatar.

But the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:new limit on fairing updates (one per rider, per season) raises 🐭the possibilꦑity that some teams may wait until the last moment to debut their 2017 designs, for example only at the Qatar test.

That would allow a manufacturer to check the fairing works as planꦯned with their race riders, but make it difficult for rivals to respond/copy the design before the start of the season - at which point they are limited to only one fa🗹iring update.

Duca﷽ti chose the Qatar test to debut the new generation of MotoGP winglets, just before the opening race of 2015.
