Cant remember who it was must have been a 600 rider doing it at Hampton Downs during the TT, looked abit odd. I agree with letting out a fart!
Wouldn't be racing if it wasn't for:MotoMart, Pirelli, EBC Brakes, Ripecoffee.co.nz, Slotmedia.co.nz, Totalbodyshop.co.nz and Wurth

Oh fuck, you just made me aware of something. Sometimes when acknowledging other road users I'll wave my leg out so I don't have to take my hand off the throttle.

Jesus. Like Rossi needs to psych anyone out........
He does it for whatever reason he says he does it for. Whatever reason he gave is right. He's the fucken man at this sport, and knows what is what. Period.
Hope I did'nt destroy any debate from any experts on here......

I saw James Smith doing it... I think it would work well, just sliding off the seat in the direction of the next corner works so I bet it works great. I wouldnt be able to get my foot back on quick enough.
You can tell its not for show cause the do it moreso when they brake a bit late

Not at all. You may've started a debate though. Just who would like Rossi to bum him the most?? You're winning so far!He does it for whatever reason he says he does it for. Whatever reason he gave is right. He's the fucken man at this sport, and knows what is what. Period.

Most people probably do that when they think they're about to fall off...

Actually i'm a Stoner fan, and bored of watching Rossi win.....he's just is a fucken good rider, and I believe the best. So Where's the "shaaaame cunt" smiley gone?

He does it to warn other riders that there is road kill on the track, a dead opossum/rabbit so just be aware.
Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

james smith has been trying that style at hampton downs, seemed to do him no harm either i know he did in the superbikes can't recall whether or not he was doing it in the 600s too, maybe i was at a different part of the track?Yes ive always wondered why they do it ......... I was at a race meet here an i seen someone doing it an i thought WTF .............

Excellent point and puts the foot out technique in perspective,ie...a load of old toss.
Unless Rossi/Burgess couldnt develop a cold between them...1 up to Jorge & team me thinks.

There must be some scientific explanation.
Let's face it, more and more MotoGP riders are into it. Funny though that it is not as popular in WSB.
Although Leon Haslam does flap his legs - I wonder if that improves his cornering?
He has been doing this a lot less lately, that's because he's on such a fast machine now he doesn't have time worry about trying to take off by flapping his legs...
I did wonder if he had tourettes and this was some form of tic.

WSB riders don't race against Rossi.
As Rossi himself has admitted, the data shows that the effect is absolutely nada. It doesn't slow him down one bit, nor does it speed him up at all. Rossi does it because he likes to, and he's said as much. Same as his helmet designs, or his pre-race superstitions. If it makes him feel more comfortable without costing speed, then that's all that matters.
