[url=http://www.sportrider.com/motogp-ducatis-dalligna-bring-on-no-winglet-lorenzo-era]Kent Kunitsugu, the editor of Sport Rider, teamed up with Manuel Pecino this time on a tech article concerning winglets, featuring commentary from Ducatis' top man, Gigi Dall’Igna.
Of great interest to me, along with the fact Kunitisugu took a byline on this piece (normally Pecino handles these) was this comment by Kunitsugu:
The big question on everyone’s mind was the winglet ban for 2017. Ducati started the winglet craze in MotoGP, and are widely thought to have benefitted the most from the aerodynamic advantages. That Ducati was the trailblazer for this technical breakthrough of sorts was not lost on Dall’Igna.
Kent shows just the very slightest inclination toward politics here; note the phrases "winglet craze" and "widely thought".
Kent's obviously been informed about the true nature of these things; they were used to intimidate the competition. Everyone else jumped on the bandwagon but to no avail. No wonder Dall'Igna does not mourn their loss!

Aaarggggghhh...they're as useless as the fins on automobiles of the 1950s.
