Ride height devices will be banned in 2027
The 2024 Austrian Grand Prix will not be remembered as one of MotoGP’s best. In fact, its humdrum procession will likely fade so far into obscurity as to one day win someone a pub quiz.
If you want to direct your anger at anyone, then blame Ducati’s rivals for simply underperforming. The results sheet for the Austrian GP reads like one of old, with the top 10 covered by a whopping 30.2s. The catalyst for his issues stemmed from a broken tyre valve, which led to a hasty visit by his mechanics to Michelin’s awning in the paddock to have his race tyres put onto a new rim. They were successful, but the time spent disconnected from the warmer meant his medium front tyre had cooled down.
“It’s true that now we have many things on the bike,” he added. “When some riders arrive from Moto2 they say, ‘We have so many things to do’. But today, with that chaos we had with the front tyre, I put more attention on getting the tyre temperature up and I was less concentrated on the front device.
The effect, though, is that everyone is more or less exiting corners in the same way. Throw in the tyre pressure battle riders now face under the current regulations - something exacerbated by the high levels of downforce bikes produce now - trying to claw back any advantage on a track like Red Bull Ring on the brakes becomes harder.
