Ducati will argue its controversial appendage must be allowed to stay on its bikes in entrance of the FIM Court of Appeals on Friday.
Rivola will be a part of representatives from Honda, Suzuki and KTM in making the case for it to be banned on the grounds that it gives an aerodynamic profit.
But regardless of being one of many driving forces behind the preliminary protest towards Ducati in Qatar, Rivola believes that the appeals court docket mustn’t search to overturn Dovizioso’s victory.
“There should be no retroactive [change to the] end result, Dovizioso ought to maintain his Qatar victory and from the Argentine GP the Ducati should run with out this machine on its bike,” Rivola instructed Motosprint.
“Spare the win, after which begin to talk about a brand new rule on this topic.”
Central to Ducati’s case is the truth that MotoGP technical director Danny Aldridge gave approval to the Italian producer to make use of the winglet in Qatar for the aim of cooling the rear tyre.
Ducati normal supervisor Gigi Dall’Igna warned {that a} lack of respect for the rulings handed down by Aldridge might set up a harmful precedent.
“Having questioned the Federation’s Technical Director, who’s the one one by regulation who can resolve whether or not one thing mounted on the bike is authorized or not, there’s the chance of turning into like a far west city wherein the sheriff has additionally been killed,” Dall’Igna instructed MotoGP.com.
“First they questioned the Technical Director, then questioned the primary panel of judges [the race stewards]. This suggests an entire mistrust of the Federation.”
However, Rivola thinks Aldridge is at fault for failing to query Ducati’s rationalization for the aim of the winglet.
“I believe he [Aldridge] gave his approval based mostly on the data that he had, that’s what Ducati gave him,” added Rivola. “But he did not examine properly, he trusted their rationalization.
“If he’s appearing in good religion, he ought to now clarify that he has misunderstood this answer, and due to this fact that the rule should be redone.
“The technical director collects extra data, then attracts up a brand new technical doc, and a brand new rule is added. And we might all be happier.”
