| phil, i do agree to a certain extent as the skill level rises your ability to get the maximum out of the bike obviously increases. you are alot nearer to it than i am but not at its maximum.
for me there is nothing i need to do to the bike. im at, for arguments sake, 80% of its potential maybe you are at 95% of yours.
but everyone out there can cut their times still considerably i would say even someone like you. if you spent a day at snett really sorting your technique out what would you drop. 1 maybe 2 seconds? not saying there is anything wrong with your riding but you know what i mean.
its funny at the start of the season everyone was saying "no the best rider will win no matter what bike they are on" now we are out there it seems to be a different story.
what would be really good would be to get some dyno charts and compare them. i've no idea what mine is chucking out. could be 70 bhp for all i know!
hope not......means im even worse than i thought! |
