, major cringe with that off at the end, glad to see the guy was ok, tough buggers these bike racers
Just watching the GP now,
always wondered why in certain turns they take their foot/leg out on the inside on the breaking, always at the same turn, and same for everyone ?
Is it for a special fast turn ?
There was a write up in one of the magazines about the leg out cornering. Can't remember the specifics but definitely about the heavy braking and getting the bike to lean into the corner.
They do it for both right and left corners. They aren't touching the rear brakes when they are braking that hard. You'll often see the rear tyre floating above the bitumen when braking. Any pressure on the rear brakes causes lock ups and if it's a good lock up... a crash.
Loved watching last night. Was on at a reasonable time on free to air.
Went with the wrong tyre, expected the soft tyre not to last but the the temp had dropped +10º from previous day so the hard didn't really come in.
Super slow mo shots were amazing to see
Pedrosa was on the hard tyre also and seemed to have reasonable heat in the tyres until he faded a bit at the end.
The Yamaha is getting better life out of the Bridgestones than the Honda ATM.
