I know winglets are all the rage even suzuki have got them now abeit small ones, wouldn't it be better to have the winglets on the front mudguard, less loading on the suspension and the down force if any will be direct to the front tyre, or maybe I'm just talking shite ____________________ Beer, It's the reason I get up every afternoon |

From the little I've gleaned it appears they were optimised in wind tunnels so I suspect they tried them everywhere within the FIM rules.
Stupid waste of time and money when the sport has been reducing spending, besides there isn't a shared consensus amongst the riders that they improve, and if they do improve things then it's not the same on every type of circuit or indeed if it's windy.
Like carbon discs we won't see them on roadbikes unlike some of the other MotoGP technology that does transfer to roadbikes. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

It would be better to fully enclose the front wheel within the fairing. Downforce be damned, it's a big thing to push through the air that completely screws with the aerodynamics.
