No, if you watch them their left foot is right off the peg and close to the ground, it's not from changing gears and in a race in happens on the same corners time after time and a few off the riders do it at every track and of late Rossi has started doing it more and more.

My son would like to know, why do alot of the top riders in both GP and Supper bike take their left foot off the peg and trail it going in to some left corners. Thanks Rick

Thank you all for the input on this. My son is about to ride his track bike in a few weeks for the first time, as soon as he gets the feel for it, we are going to try both shift pattens. Rick

That was to be next question, but Rick448 got in first

Hi, I am about to teach my son how to ride, his goal is to start racing ( 250 lights), he is start a bit late in life he is 16yrs old which is my falt but I hope it will not hold him back to much. My question is should I set the bike up with reversed patten GP style or leave it std (1down rest up) Rick
