Скачать или смотреть Why Your Motorcycle is Aerodynamically a Brick: The Secret Physics of MotoGP

In this episode of The Braking Zone, we break down why most motorcycles are essentially high-speed bricks and how MotoGP teams like Aprilia are using fighter-jet physics to cheat the wind. We dive deep into the chaotic season opener at Buriram, analyzing everything from the "Tuk Tuk" races to the controversial penalty that redefined the limits of racing.

We also explore the technical "black magic" behind Aprilia's new elbow-duct aero and the Meredith Effect—a theory that could mean motorcycles are now generating their own thrust. Plus, Dave shares the honest, frustrating truth about his Ducati Multistrada reflash: why chasing fuel efficiency leads to a rabbit hole of global emission standards and "brick-like" performance.
