Thailand MotoGP Test: Rins: New Suzuki fairing 'really good'
Alex Rins may have fallen during his first run wit🐼h the new Suzuki fairing, but that didn't dampen the Spaniard's enthusiasm for the new dev𒊎ice.
The design mimics the 2017 Ducati fairing, with two or three tiers of ⭕horizonal winglets connected by an outer endplate.
“T꧑oday was a really positive test and we tried many things," said Rins, who finished the day seventh fastest (+0.477s). "As you can see, we tried the new fairing ღin its two versions and some new parts on the chassis and I think it was really good.

"With the new aerodynamic fairing, I felt better about the anti-wheelie. MotoGP bikes obviously have a lot of electronics but all the time that the front wheel is making contact with the track then we have more power, so it’s always bett♔er, this new fairing can help me to have more acceleration and more speed.
"The good thing also is that this new fairing allows me to have better anti-wheওelie without major loss 🦹in the top speed."
Team manaꦅger Davide Brivio added: "Alex was happy when he tested the new aerodynamic package and it seems like it benefits him. So we will reconfirm tomorrow, and of course test again in Qatar, but it looks like Suzuki have made a very good job with this package."
Team-mate Andrea Iannone also plans to put in a detailed comparison between the old and new fairing on Sunday's final day, before a decision is made on whicꦉh to use for the 2018 season.
