Saw this at another forum and just had to post it here. Check out where the spannie exits on the OW48!

Wow, that's so cool!!

Sheene had soooo much more cornering speed, but that Yammy blew them away on the straights. Awesome!

Some of that was KR's riding style - his late entry/early exit meant his straights were longer and his corner speed lower....he could pass on entry,stand the bike and be on full power before the others.
