Spoiler alert!! Le mans moto gp
Good Morning,
woke up early to watch the MotoGP race live from Le Mans....
Great race, Rossi had a great start!
Bautista didn't start due to re-injuring his shoulder in practice.
Stoner crashed out, Capirossi crashed out, and then Spies crashed out.
Rossi lead until Lorenzo pushed and went out front....and stayed there!
GREAT battle for 3rd between Pedrosa and Dovizoso....Hayden kept up there.
In the end the podium went:
Lorenzo
Rossi
Dovizioso
and Hayden finished 4th ahead of Pedrosa (who was in 3rd for practically the duration of the race).
The following are the results from the motogp site:

Hahaha.. Stoner sucks!!!
Welcome to Squid city.. the Poserland, home of chickenstrip riders... TEE-DOT!!
We Lean Low. while you pose straight. GOT IT? GOOD!!
luved watching nicky get by pedrosa on the last lap!
i noticed rossi and others hanging there inside foot off the peg kind of dirt track/speedway style. seeing this more and more. i think maybe this is a tool to distract and break the concentration of the following racers. what do you all think about it?

Huh????? Uh no...its to maintain balance under heavy braking...they have been doing it for at least 4 years now.Originally Posted by boyoboy

stoner crashed again? damn... c'mon stonerrr
4 years - i guess so. i do believe rossi was the first. only seeing a handful of racers doing it currently.
but i have never seen much discussion from the racers and why they do it.
putting a foot out is very often used to signal following racers of trouble or an exit from the track. i would think that after years of racers using "the foot off the bike to signal others" racers might/may have developed a reflex reaction to this. anyone else think it may have as much (or more) to do with a mental aspect/head game as for balance? maybe i'm off base, but i do not hear much about anyone at the world level discussing this "as for balance". and if it does work to improve balance under braking why isn't everyone doing it?
EDIT anyone in the AMA doing it?

Plenty of discusions....do search

thx for the link. i'm a race fan for sure, but i don't always stay up to date.
interesting link, the first three posts were basically:
1. commentators saying "stability"....
2. rossi says "i don't know why i do it"...
3. someone says "for distraction"...
could that "momentary distraction" be enough to break a riders confidence on making a pass?
interesting. now i'm gonna read some more....

Stoner then Spies then capirossi no?
And what the hell did they show the guys in the pit for when hayden was passing pedrosa? niiiiiiiice I love watching guys in the pit celebrate instead of the actual race. MY FAV!
During Spies' interview while the race was on, he said he saw Capirossi go down, and then he went down.... so hence why I got that order. Who knows.... lol
I was really happy for Hayden, I LOVE that he's having better results than stoner....

I think they put a foot out to increase drag to help slow the bike for the corner.

Well if thats what Spies said then I guess that's how it happened. I thought they showed capirossi after spies but either i was wrong or just crappy coverage again.
Good end to the race though. Maybe stoner will be able to stay on the bike 50% of the time.
Very interesting how now they seem to be letting people that suck ride in MotoGP.
Adding more drag can't hurt, but that's definitely not why. I've seen Rossi tuck his front before and pick it back up using his foot, maybe that's why. It's also a little distracting but only the first few times after that it won't affect others. It does take up more space, harder to pass I suppose, plus make turning in easier like the supermoto guys do.

and btw I have only seen Rossi stick out his foot on LEFT turns i.e. the back brake is too important to abandon for whatever it is that he's trying to do.
Anybody see a right turn?

They do it with the right foot also. Don't look too deep into it guys, racing is a very "mental" game, particularily at that level.
If you can get whoever is following you off thier game, even for a 1/10th of a second, that's an advantage worth going after.

What about the knee pump (knee out then pulled back in then out again)you see so often with the AMA graves guys? it looks cool but is that all? i thought maybe to help position or shift the foot on the peg.
Do you mean when they're dragging their knee and then they pull it in? Not sure but I always thought they do this to prevent slowing down in the corner (from the effects of dragging your knee). Might be a very small amount that they slow down but in MotoGP every thousandth is important.
Oh sorry, no i understand that. The knee pump im talking about is at corner entry befor there is any lean angle.
