Re: Motogp is back!
I want one of this mini Motogp replicas.

Re: Motogp is back!
New wings, aerodynamic carbon fork covers, carbon forks and blowing cold air into the air ducts whilst in the pits a la F1.
With no pit box arguments between riders and Lorenzo and Marquez not 100% fit, i reckon Ducati see this as their best chance to win for a long time.

Re: Motogp is back!
And what Mat Oxley reckons is a mechanical lock control on the top yoke to lock the rear shock out for starts.
Electronic locks are not allowed but mechanical ones are.

Re: Motogp is back!
Ducati are the leaders in innovation, engineering and design in motogp imo.
I really hope they can mount a successful challenge to the title. DOVI, the team, the factory, the technicians and engineers all deserve it.
