All of the pics of the '10 wings, that I can recall, have the winglets.
Winglets might be a hair bigger.
Speculation was that the wings improved the outflow of air from the radiator.
Hmm...I never noticed the winglets before (I did notice the wings though).
Looking at their curved shape it looks as if the'yre just an upside down wing...so providing downforce...although probably not a lot at that size. They were also added after Stoner was having front end grip problems early in the season. I thought they fixed the front grip problems a few races ago by moving the clipon and rear wheel 1/2" forward though.
How would they provide improved outflow of air from the radiator...they're right at the leading edge of the fairings?
Maybe they're there to smooth the airflow around the leading edge of the fairing? Gotta be pretty turbulent with the wheel, forks, etc. right there.

My guess would be that they alter or smooth the air going by the exit ducts on the fairing which might improve how the air flowing through the radiator and bike exit the sides. This is assuming that's what they are used for. I thought they were to improve downforce on the bike and improve grip.

That seems reasonable.

Exactly. And no wonder they listed him as an HRC rider and not Repsol...considering the livery.
It's pretty normal that even if they're cleared to test, that they don't run the new bike's livery. They're still under contract with their prior sponsor to pimp out their product on a bike, not someone else's. Rossi's gag rule is not that usual, but the fact that Casey is running HRC livery and not Repsol is exactly what you'd expect.
I expect that Tech 3 and Yami WSBK get along well enough that Cal could run the Tech 3 livery. Dunno what
Capi ran, though Suzuki might not care. They might not care about the 'little' guys.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

FWIW, the MotoCyzysc E1pc electric bike sports similar wings on the fairing, and those are explicitly there to pull more air through the radiator.

One of the more detailed interviews after day one. I can't wait until the new year so we can listen to Rossi's thoughts on the bike.
