It's to muck up the air behind them to shake off the draft . If it were on a plonda I'd say it was to keep the chain on the sprocket....
looks like those things on bicycle rims that makes them more aerodynamic. guess you can't cover the entire thing because of those brake things

I think I saw those FP2 results somewhere before MotoGP | 2019 | Round 6 | Italy | Mugello| May 31 - June 2
Thanks for that. I was looking at the attachment mechanism and not looking through the tire to the throttle side. Glad it wasn't a snake, it would have bit me.
In a GPone.com article* he was saying the Honda was harder to get used to than the Duc. I'm not a Jorge fan by any stretch, but that just makes you appreciate what Marc and Cal (to a lesser degree) can do on those bikes. *https://www.gpone.com/en/2019/05/30...ling-more-with-the-honda-than-the-ducati.html
I appreciate them and their skills for sure but I think it shows how specific things have to be for Jorge more than it shows how great the other riders are.
seems that riders that have rode on the factory M1 for a number of years have a tough time on other brands.
