    That telemetry is bullshit on a bike with traction control, and anti wheelie control!

    The guy is still a legend, I'm just saying you are being misled.
    Also, it's the telemetry from Pedrossa's bike, not Lorenzo's so it's definitely misleading. But Pedrossa is still using some pretty incredible lean angles though.

    Seems kinda like riding a Harley - pick a line and stick to it cos it's the only one there is.

    I do like the way Lorenzo is constantly changing lean angle. He rides off the edge of the tyre so stands it up a little, then eases it back down until he's nearly off the edge again. Amazing.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

    Full throttle does not necessarily equal full power! Besides, you can still see that visually from the way he accelerates out of the corner when he gets on the gas, number or no numbers.

    I'm not saying that the electronic aids are completely dormant either, but if you think you can simply whack open the throttle and the electronics will merrily keep it sunny side up, then I think you're misled!
