    Catalyuna was also fantastic

    Some great coverage, especially those real smo-mo shots. That one slmo of Rossi coming out of one bend, then into another while the front wheel was off the ground. And doesn't Stoner really slide his back wheel?

    IMO it is all mental - he does it to freak out the following rider - it must look farking weird when you have your front wheel a few cms from his rear and he pops a leg out like that.

    Think of the speed / drag

    When you are next on your bike doing between 150-200 kmh/r stick your leg out like Rossi does and see what happens, even if you just cock your knee out it has a huge effect on the bike, it pulls to side you cock your leg out, be prepared to counter with the steering. I have done this on my old 1200 Bandit at about 160m/hr (on the race track off course) and got quite a fright the way the bike lurched off line and slowed a bit.
    At the speed Rossi rides I imagine it would have more effect at slowing and turning the bike than you may think.

    Next time your on the track at that speed try it , you will get the picture....

    Dont bother at 100-140 km hr ...no effect
