Now i had some questions circling around in my head for some days.
First off, can motogp teams change their aerodynamics within the season or are they stuck with the same package they started with? For example the Ducati aerodynamic package seems a little 'Bulkier' compared to the Yamaha or the Honda. While it may have the same length for the wheelbase, it still looks a little bigger. But as of now it seems it suits the ducati just fine, and boy does it go like a bazooka! But still, are they allowed to shed some fat as the season progresses?
Secondly, that monsterous Desmodronic engine in the Ducati. I feel Ducati might have to cut some major revs for slower circuits as they might not be able to carry more corner speed, so in theory it might get difficult for them to manouevre that bike very well in the corners. One of the major reasons why Rossi's yamaha is so nimble and agile in corners is firstly because of the way the bike is setup and secondly, maybe even because of the lower revving engine which allows rossi to carry more corner speed and avoid sliding.
Also, the Desmodronic system/technology Ducati use for their engines has been known to be a "little" inferior to the Pneumatic system used by other teams. However both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Ducati worked and tested on their engine like maniacs and have managed something really special, no doubt. But can that monsterous, but also a bit fragile engine be consistent and deliver them a championship?
Your thoughts?
