Nice thread this one. I agree with Quickshifter that moving back from the tank does help. People ride up against the tnak to get a better grip on the bars, never a good idea.
The only person I have seen make "nuts-against-the-tank" work is Colin Edwards. I was watching him at Mugello between coaching Thomas and figured out that he does this to brace against braking forces, it's not the ideal but he has got it to work for him. It's also the reason you see his outside leg pointing to the sky in the turn as he cannot move back to lock in without upsetting the bike.
All the points on vision I agree with. Look where you want to go! |
