so ive been told that you need a 2nd rider in your "team" to make the data work properly.

i realise in motorcycle racing your team mate is the first guy to beat, so that's a contradiction.

experienced guys, your thoughts?

I don't agree with that...I think whomever told you that was talking about MotoGP level evaluation where all the riders are on a similar level.

With the QSTARZ LT-Q6000 (and I'm sure other gps timers too) you can compare your best laps and sectors with each other (on your PC later when you are analyzing the laps with the software supplied). It also shows your combined theoretical "best lap" by taking each of your best sectors and putting them together to give your own personal theoretical 'best lap' which is a great place to start aiming for. Basically, you need to have data that is workable to make improvements for you...we all know what another riders best lap can be but it doesn't help you unless you know where you are fast and slow so you can improve on the slow sectors/corners.

Not sure that made sense to you but I know what I'm trying to say :-P

have a read of the features for yourself
