This is the new tail section that Marco Bezzecchi debuted on the Aprilia

Aprilia unveiled a new tail section for its RS-GP motorcycle at the Red Bull Ring, with Marco Bezzecchi taking the lead in evaluating the innovative design. The new tail unit incorporates two additional flaps on the supports of the rear wing, aimed at optimizing airflow and enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
