I think I see a wall between them.
It's a nearly invisible force field sort of thing.

Cal Crutchlow had some interesting observations about his competitors (mainly Ducati, but also his fellow Hondas) sprouting winglets: http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/228563/1/crutchlow-concerned-by-wing-safety-turbulence.htmlWhile he notes some potential issues with rider safety, the more interesting thing to me is his mention of just how much turbulence they create for the rider behind. If one of the winged Ducs gets to the front - which is not unlikely at Losail, with the long straight and the Ducati's 10kph top speed advantage over everybody - it might make it a lot less comfortable for a competitor to bide his time in the draft. It's also interesting because turbulence generally means you're losing aerodynamic efficiency, though that doesn't seem to be hurting the GP16's top speed much. |

I've got to watch it again to make sure, but I think the winglets were responsible for Iannone gaining crazy ground on the Yammies at PI last year.
Finish line area has a hump, I think the Yammies were wheelie prone, so the ECU dialed the power back.
The Duc's front end was nailed down, so the ECU didn't dial power back.
'Cause he'd gain like 10 feet or more in a heartbeat.

I'm no Rossi fanboy, but it sounds about right. Remember he was runner up in the last two seasons. He is going to see it out with the factory that has treated him best and with whom he has a great collaborative relationship.
Sad to think he may have had his tenth title if he never wasted two years with Ducati.
