MotoGP - foot off the peg?

[Quasievil]

they do it to help stabilize the bike when braking extremely hard i.e it helps reduce the hard entry "fishtailing in" of the bike

I cant wait to see people doing it in NZ, and they will Im sure, then all the sportsbike racers (WAAAHH WAAAAH motards use different lines they stick their feet out brigade of morons )can bitch and moan about feet out techniques which essentially banned Motards from F3 in the VMCC series this year, but of course they wont

These guys rub fairings/wheels/handlebars at 200km/h, I don't think a leg is going to take them out of the zone. These guys are not like you or me.

yeah good point. anything that might detract for a microsecond tho could give the slightest advantage when racing is that close

[Ferkletastic]

I kinda hope the answer is "to see if I can make all these other guys do it just cos I am".

True, and that is all it would take.

[Crasherfromwayback]

fair call, but its a psych thing, diverting your attention from 'the zone'....

Maybe...but when you're heading for that zone at a great rate of knots...ain't nothing gonna stop you heading there regardless!

Ya put ya left foot in, ya take ya left foot out, ya put it back in and shake it all about...

Jimmy S did it a few times into the downhill hair pin at Hampton downs at Nats on the superbike.
I think it is just a thing, nothing more nothing less.

My Comment came from the commentator on the spanish GP, Im picking its accurate.
I dont think they do shit for the sake of doing shit............not at GP level

Doing stuff to mess with the heads of your opponents isn't just doing it for the sake of doing it.

You missed my point, refer to my earlier post, they do it to settle the bike on corner entry, this is what the commentator said.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Just another of Rossi's mind games for sure me thinks.

That might be what the commentators have been told...don't mean it's correct! Like I said...Lorenzo had no problem passing Rossi on the picks with his feet both on the pegs and the bike nicely in line.

I have always thought it looks like an " oh fuck, the fronts going" exit strategy.

Jeez Frosty - where you been all these years. It has been happening a looong time. And yes I also noticed it now happening in NZ with J Smith on the SBK at HD Nat's.
