This is IMHO essential. A well fuelled bike with a chunk of midrange will serve much better than a peaky nightmare. Most of the podium finishes last year went this router rather than top bhp.

The key issue is having confidence to roll the throttle on as early in the corner as poss. The worse the fuelling, the longer your head will tell you to leave it, the less drive you get out of the corner, the further behind you are at the next corner, the more you try to out-brake, the more time you spend in the kitty-litter!

Cheers,
