If you’re watching the Ducati GP15 with interest and enjoying how quick it has been in the tests, it may come as no surprise to learn the secret of its new speed: Its technological distinctiveness has been added to the Borg‘s.

Those over-long sensors wires will soon cover the bike, first inside the fairing and then outside until the GP15.1 looks like a cube. Not aerodynamic, but capable of sub-one-second lap times regardless of tire choice.

Resistance if futile.
