Fuck me. It seems like the rear wheel even breaks traction? How the hell could you hold that?

He should find some of those guys that mock 'chicken strips' on the side of bike tires, show them the grind marks on the side of his wheels, and punch 'em in the dick for not being True Bosses (tm).

edit: can't stop watching. I'm pretty sure that he IS spinning the rear tire. And he's countersteering. How does he straddle the bike with those massive balls?

Look closely and you can see a faint tire mark he left on exit. Pretty perfect line through that corner, with just a hint of drift.

Yep - that's a pretty typical racing scene.
In all forms of Motorsport (to include Motorcycle), racing is a balancing act between the limits of absolute/perfect traction and that of the maximum amount of slip before forward momentum is negatively impacted.

I think it's truly the point that the absolute best possible time is achieved without breaking contact ever; but that is such a degree of perfect that in the effort to actually race hard and take perfect lines that they more often than not just get really really really close and slip here and there.

If you watch it, the front wheel starts to catch on the pavement lip between the hashed area and the roadway and the rear wheel starts to walk out... he's countersteering to keep balance.

I've seen videos for the V-twin superbikes where each power pulse from the motor makes the rear wheel step out ever so slightly... it's pretty badass.

I had a CBR1000 for many years... it was a sweet bike with lots of power, but I wouldn't touch one of those superbikes... they are brutal. Talk about mad skillz... :awe:

It's funny, in the 30-odd years I've been interested in motorcycles we've gone from putting a knee down in the corners to actually dragging a hip...

Ahhh that's right....Stoner jumped from Ducati and Rossi got his seat....I forgot. I think it was last year or the year before, but it seemed everytime I saw a race, Stoner was either 1 or 2. Rossi has seriously dropped off after the accident when he broke his ankle. Still a consistent top 10 finisher.
