    How MotoGP riders are trained

    It seems so easy to be a motogp rider once you have made it to the Grand Prix. They should just know how to ride a MotoGP bike, practice hard on the track, push the machines hard round the corners, brake late....blah blah. But, one of the important aspects we generally ignore is how these riders are trained for the season.

    Check this articles to get an insight on How these riders are built:

    Teaser info: Dani Pedrosa does 1000 sit-ups per day before the season and 700 sit-ups per day during the season. So much for the little one. This is just the beginning.
    Enna Rascalla. Mind it !!!

                            Thanks for sharing. Am still reading. I knew they had a strict regimen. But this much, cycling, swimming, sit-ups, crunches, I have rarely been that fit!

                            Edit; Phew! Just finished reading it. If we can keep up that regimen, we will be in for pleasant surprises when we tour. I guess we will be able to tour better, longer and enjoy more.

                            The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                              ^^Just a question. Do the F1 drivers train as much hard ? I guess their training should be harder for all the G-Forces they encounter.
