I wouldn't be so sure. They had to turn over data for the device. If that data shows it creates down force, which we all know it does, then they may be forced to remove it. Aprilia said they did testing and its not an insignificant amount of down force either.

Reminds me when all the F1 teams got their panties in a twist over Colin Chapman's innovative 'active' suspension Lotus back in the early 80s. It seems even now, you are penalized for being creative. Fact is once all the teams have them fitted to their own GP bikes, they'll stop crying into their milk over it. Gigi DaLigna has not necessarily broken any FIM rules, merely interpreted them to his advantage or rather that of the bike. Let's see how long the governing body take to slap some ballast weights onto Bautista's V4R, once Rea starts to slip down the score sheet further.

as long as Chaz D keeps coming in 7th. They'll let it slide.

It will be interesting to see if they appeal it again to the supreme court of motorsports, or just suck it up and play monkey see monkey do.
Personally I think Gigi is using that stuff as a smoke screen to hide whats really going on. Psy-ops works, when your winning.
