Ducati “triple winglet” fairing on the Desmosedici GP19
Peter Bom: A tri-plane winglet arrangement must have quite a lot of horizontal surface area. By spreading that surface area over three wings, Ducati also reduces the risk of damage in case of contact with other bikes. Bikes with as much aero as the Ducati can barely be ridden at all with it any longer.
