As for Rossi, he does look into the corner and out. Now his head position would lead you to believe otherwise...
And yes, I do know that as I have spent the last 3 months writing a book on MotoGP riding techniques and spoken to most of the riders at that level. VERY INTERESTING!

Can I have an evaluation copy ? If it's good I promise to tell everyone I know

More interestingly did you or CSS learn anything from them ?
