| I think the most difficult thing to accept here is where your perceived ability is in relation to your actual ability.
The thing about going around a track is that every 58 secs or 1;38, your going around the same bend again in the same position on the tarmac at the same speed.
Road riding is a completely different game. The majority of mistakes made on the road can be directly related to taking on board information, or more to the point, the lack of it.
Anyone can open a throttle to 100mph+ on a straight bit of carriageway, its the linking up, or consistancy of being in the right gear at the right speed in the right position that'll get you everytime. |
