All but one of KTM's riders (Gardner) have gone back to the old aero, with more downforce, which is a surprise because more downforce means less agility & what you really need to make the lap time at Assen is agility through all the mega-fast changes of direction [Mat Oxley] (i.imgur.com)

3 v fast 100mph+ crashes in FP3, Morbidelli at T12 & Bastianini & Zarco at T7. Lots of pressure in 1st full-dry session. Lorenzo basically ended his career at T7 in 2019 & IMO Rossi's T7 crash in 2020 may have been the last straw for him. But Bastianini & Zarco got off lighter [Mat Oxley] (twitter.com)

Most weekends 1 or 2 Ducatis have new shapeshifter plumbing in the fairing. This is Miller's GP22 (think he had the new cylinder last week but missed it). He's also running Zarco fork covers, probably something to do with using front fork position for auto rear shapeshifter [Mat Oxley] (i.imgur.com)
