Heaven forbid I am going to comment on something aero: the stegosaurus fins on the rear of the Ducarti have grown much taller (nuh, it still doesnt feel right :wink: ). But lo and behold on the F1Red Bull assisted KTM there are ....none.

An interview with rins and mir

Yes, why else bring Ken Kawauchi in from Suzuki if not because they have NO direction.
By the way one of the happiest men in the paddock is Marquez, Alex. Getting of the Honda bender and onto a Ducarti.
And, how do you think Marquez, Marc would go in F1?

If there is a technical/engineering insight I can not say anything but stubbornness is not good. So teams should try if something works. Ktm should stop sticking tubular chassis instead of aluminum one, yamaha should try vee layout.

At the video "what's hot on day 2" the man says alex has a smile on his face everytime because he is happy with his bike. As he said I can understand it. Ducati is fast bike and lesser rider talent dependent it's speed. But at the end I don't think that he can keep a smile on his face during season if he really want to be at front. This is just expectation, still need more data. :D

They did say they had limited numbers and had to run them to end of life.
Mediums and softs were used mainly. I know this is not specific.
Top speed of the Yamaha looks OK ...

When looking yamaha's speed here with long straights, maybe ducati should afraid from Yamaha for track which has shorter ones.
What I derived from word I read or listened, other teams should develop on their bike is acceleration speed outing of corners.
