Earlier this week, MotoGP teams and riders spent two nights at Qatar dialing in the final configurations of their racebikes ahead of the season-opening race, scheduled for two weeks at the same Lusail International Circuit. There were more new pieces on display as the manufacturers continued to look for gains in aerodynamics, specifically with the aim of finding more grip under braking and in the turn-in and mid-corner phase. At the end of the test, defending and two-time Champion Francesco Bagnaia looked relaxed as he talked to the media, saying that his blazing record-setting lap came with the very first soft tire the team tried during time attacks. The time was quick enough that the team didn’t go for another run on a second soft, choosing instead to use it for a long-distance run. Aprilia continued with its “Batwing” tail section, designed to extract air from the area above the rear tire. Aerodynamically, that region is incredibly turbulent, so cleaning the airflow through there reduces drag, and that frees up power that can be used to push other aerodynamic devices through the air. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The post MotoGP: More From The Pre-Season Test At Qatar appeared first on Roadracing World Magazine | Motorcycle Riding, Racing & Tech News.
