Feud on the Fast Lane: Alvaro Bautista Challenges Toprak Razgatlioglu on Yamaha Aero Superiority

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Alvaro Bautista has had his say on Yamaha legalising their MotoGP aerodynamics for Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Alvaro Bautista has raised concerns about Toprak Razgatlioglu utilizing rear wings in MotoGP, implying potential rule violations.

Tail aerodynamics have been integrated into MotoGP since Ducati introduced ‘stegosaurus’ wings in 2022.

Yamaha’s current tail aerodynamics on the YZR-M1 combine ‘stegosaurus’ elements with a dual-plane horizontal wing.

Due to Razgatlioglu’s height and Yamaha’s seat unit, his rear aerodynamics were deemed illegal under MotoGP’s bike height regulations, leading to adjustments.

Razgatlioglu noticed improved braking performance with rear wings during testing in Sepang, prompting a potential change in riding style.

Yamaha has reportedly resolved the height issue for Razgatlioglu’s YZR-M1, allowing him to run rear wings in the upcoming season opener.
