Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO to motogp.com: “I think aerodynamics is a science that has been neglected for a long time on two wheels, both racing and production. It is more difficult than with cars because the bike is moving, leaning, even the rider is moving on the bike and is interacting with the bike. So now there are systems which you can simulate the behaviour of the air around the bike in a much more predictable way. I think we are very much an engineering orientated company, so we started studying that and we understood there was a lot of possibility of improving. So starting from later years, we started developing that, kind of setting the pace and we’ve seen that many other manufacturers have followed. And now we are kind of putting all this knowledge into the production bikes as well, we’re getting a very interesting advantage there, and there is still a lot to come because we are just at the beginning in my opinion. We will see many new and interesting stuff, both in production and in the racing.”
