I kinda wondered if truth of the matter is the peg position causes lack of circulation so a bit of a shake of the leg to get the blood flowing again

Maybe, but it's hard to imagine why Rossi wouldn't just say so. Unless he wanted to see how many people would copy him

Actually, although Rossi has gone to great efforts to hide it, he suffers from a urinary tract affliction. This has resulted in a lack of control of his bladder. Now for most people this wouldn't be more than a minor nuisance, but when you've got millions across the globe watching your every move, you have to become, ah, inventive. Hence the leg shake. If you don't believe me, who else remembers this moment in time when the entire world first became aware of this issue?

Consider yourself lucky - at least the coffee went up your nose. I was trying to eat breakfast, and now there's porridge in my keyboard.

Have to go with the Blackstig too, yes maybe a littke drag and weight... BUT we are talking neo seconds of broken concentration... which is all it can take to win a race in that same neo second.

You may what to still ram his leg at what cost to you... ? how much does it take to upset your line and or balance??... just putting that out there too

You bump a leg outta the way with no issue at all. I know this.

I had my lower leg BROKEN, when some one in Japan tried to pass me using my leg as a Burm, and they did not fall off

Yeeeouch! Amazing what sort of impact you can have and still keep it on two wheels though eh! I had to bounce a guy on an RGV 250 off at Manfeild years ago when he came across in front of me.

I cut the cast of my leg a week later, and raced at Sugo, now that did hurt!!!
