Yeah but they get to watch the races live - usually in the afternoon.

It is really cool to watch them power slide, but is it really ideal in terms of pace, tyre wear, and fuel economy though?

Yep. It's also the best way to finish a corner off and hold a tighter line on the way out.

Noticed how Stoner has won at Phillip Island the last five years? One of...if not THE fastest track in the world. Riding sideways everywhere? Also...sideways generates less heat into the tyre than wheels in line generally. It normally only generates more surface heat.

Same for fuel economy. Once the thing has broken loose...no real load on the engine.

All that is not nearly as important as how cool it looks
