Alex Rins cut a deal with Suzuki to get new ‘rabbit ear’ wings Full story 👉 MotoGP JapaneseGP
had to make a deal with Suzuki to give the factory's new 'rabbit ear' rear wings a debut in Friday MotoGP practice at Motegi.
But the Spaniard’s enthusiasm was tempered by the news that test rider Takuya Tsuda, replacing Joan Mir, would try the new parts first. “It was very funny because yesterday [Thursday] I knew about it at the end of the day, but they wanted Tsuda to try it first. So I went running to the Japanese guys and said ‘hey guys, come on, give it to me please!’
“I felt more stability on the rear, on braking,” Rins said of the aero. “It looks like, comparing the first to the second run, I was able to brake a little bit harder into the corner. At least less shaking.”With wet weather expected on Friday, Rins is unsure if enough data was gathered to get the green light to race with the development, but: “If the info the engineers have and everything [looks] good, we will use [them in the race].
