Moto GP

Post by Zonda_ »

Watching this for the first time in years. Have the bikes got front wings now?

Is that just for the start/launch?

Or can they use it at other points in the race?

I used to love motogp. Its so far removed from what you can actually buy that I lost interest. To elaborate bsb or wsb are actually based on sales machines.

Yes Gav - bikes have had wings for years. Ducati started the trend.

That's a horrible thing to say. Those guard rails actually have a real world use and some people want them.

I mean, you're right about the car though.

It’s interesting seeing how the aero on motorbikes is now at the arms race stage


2026 will be the last year with it going crazy like this as the rules for next year are much stricter.
