Apparently something like they're allowed as long as they're no wider that the fairings, total 600mm or something

Lorenzo used it in sp2 today

Lorenzo topped the time table with these , just reading that Rossi is now having some fitted for today's qualifying !

Wonder if when braking from speed down the back straight they wil start dangling both legs soon ?

MotoGP used to be ace to watch , spencer , mamola etc , now it's turning into some freak fashion show for riders and bikes ! Thank god for BSB and WSBK
