The Yamaha riders have said they've felt no benefit from them.

I could see Rossi or Marquez using a whale fin like that to tip another bike over.. We could have DemolitionGP races.

maybe it added to the increased front wear on lorenzos bike though, it looked cut up a bit more than rossis during the race (although it could have been to do with rossi taking it a little easier at the start)

Hope they don't start to appear at trackdays, I wouldn't fancy trying to pass a bike with one of those human potato chip cutters on.
