Francesco Bagnaia: MotoGP's front ride-height ban ‘not a problem’

While the front system was tried in pre-season testing and continued to be developed by the likes of Pramac’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Johann Zarco, reigning world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia has revealed he removed it after the ღopening race weekend in Qatar.
“I used the front height device in the test and FP1, FP2, FP3 in Qatar, then I stopped using it,” Bagnaia said. “So it will not be a big change for me. When they decided to take it away, it was not a problem for m♓e.”
The front ride-height ban is the only significanཧt change to the MotoGP technical rules for 2023. Rear ride-height devices, as pioneered by Ducati, pl🧜us front and rear holeshot devices (for the start only) remain legal.

Meanwဣhile, Bagnaia also revealed the switch to a smaller fairing had proved beneficial in terms of handling fo♛r the GP22.
“If you remember, all the years the Ducati fairing was🅘 very big and last year we went with a really small one. I pushed a lot for it and we changed a lot the feeling on the bike,” he said.
While Ducati has joined Yamaha in unveiling its 2023 team colours, the latestꦑ a🍬erodynamics remain a closely guided secret until track action begins at Sepang next month.
But Bagnaia doesn’t expect anythin🤪g radi✅cal for the GP23.
“Next season’s [fairing] will be very similar to this year,” he said. “I didn't go to the wind🉐 tunnel because they have ways to replicate us [on the bike] so they don't need us.
“But in any case, speaking about aerodynamics they are work꧂ing very 💃hard.”
Ducati has 🎶followed Aprilia’s lead by investigating a fatter lower fairing, to speed up air passing under the bike during cornering, plus rear seat aerodynamic devices.
