Interesting theories on Rossi's dangling Leg in the corners:

Ya give me some position in that club too ! He was just amazing and this JLo/Goat stuff is overshadowing it . Btw if he had not gone off there would have been a three way battle between the Yamaha's .. Now hows that ?Originally posted by sheelpriye View PostWhat do you guys have to say about My Spies? (I am his official fan club Prez)
Running off track with Hayden, and left Hayden 15 seconds behind at the flag. Managing a commendable 8th. My aim for him is to beat Andrea for championship, hard target? Yes... but lets see.
And did any of guys notice Masao smiling during those laps !? And even Yamaha Motor Comapany pres was there , It would have been awesome if both the yamaha s crashed !

I really wouldn't care what happened to Yamaha in 2011 if Ben wasn't riding with them.
I just hope Honda takes Ben or he replaces Hayden.
Yesterday was what racing should always be, we may do away with physical contact, but IMHO that much is fine if no one goes off track.
Did Casey Stoner have to say something about the battle? Colin did say wittily that--Both are in too much hurry, missing school?

Next season is gonna be an all out battle for supremacy, clash of egos and what not. Want to see 'Rossi - Gib' or 'Rossi - Max' again and i'm sure Lorenzo would be up for that challenge, but he needs to grow up a little more though
Young riders pick a destination and go, Old riders pick a direction and go !

Rossi himself actually clarified this leg dangling in an interview long ago.it is in bike India August 2009 edition page 136. i quote the lines
" before I start braking I move off the seat to the inside , so for coppice you brake with the body to the right.you move early so you only have to make one movement to get the bike into corner, also if you move too late the bike moves around too much. sometimes now I take the foot off the inside peg because it feels like i can brake harder" unquote.
Guess we got the reason why he was Dangling that long slender legs that far in motegi. he was pushing himself to the limit and hence the need to brake harder as well.Its amusing to read all those theories especially the aerodynamic ones lol.these guys definitely know how to create a mountain out of molehill.
BTW Coppice is a corner at Donington park.Last edited by burnrubbernotursoul; 10-04-2010, 01:58 PM." if WRONG is a T-shirt ; then wearing it inside out doesn't make it RIGHT "Comment

Found a better link of the last laps of yesterday's race.
YouTube - Valentino Rossi vs Jorge Lorenzo Motegi 2010
Rossi shrugs, "It was fun!"

The dangling leg discussion has come out again because Rossi's leg, for some people, is seen as blocking the other rider to take the inside line.Comment

Post race conference was all about how he setup the bike that worked well for him in the race, didn't say anything about the battle. Couldn't find anything on the web too.
But something tells me it would be favoring the lollipop guy
He has been on the receiving end of the tussle in the past too Yeah Rossi is the bullying around

its kinda funny how people always find one thing or another to crib about...,Originally posted by sumit.pannalall View Post
1) Rossi was using his leg for the entire race rather than using it only when Lorenzo was behind him....
2) he has been doing it for quite sometime now, other riders have also tried it and some have found it useful and they do it too.....
haven't heard anything till now....should be fun though, I bet casey hasn't forgotten laguna 08....maybe he will understand Jorge's painOriginally posted by sheelpriye View Post, anyway if it was something worth reading/knowing, am sure it would have been out till now....

+1 to that . some of the prominent riders who do it regularly are Stoner and Dani Pedrosa. if we see the video of rossi vs lorenzo posted on the thread we can see a small clip of stoner running alone and dangling his leg at corners. the problem with Rossi is that he has very long legs and its kinda more visible than others, and that fluorescent yellow doesnt help either.Originally posted by kingkong View Post
at the same time Dani pedrosa also uses the same technique but his legs are so short that most of the time we miss that dangling leg.some times during intense battles its difficult to tell whether his legs are on or off the pegs at first glance. that's not the case with Rossi you cannot miss that long slender fluorescent leg. can we??

I am on a roll of sensationalizing the "series of events"
Was reading the other forums topics post motegi race and found another interesting conspiracy theory:
MotoMatters.com Forums • View topic - 2010 Motegi Race Topic: Round 14 **Spoilers**
Well Rossi did let go of chasing Dovi later in the race but that was a different reason altogether, as he himself told in the post race conference, due to his bike's rear sliding too much.
Edit: read the next post too. there is a link of a fantastic shot of the duo battling it out
It is fun to read all the comments though none of them might be a reality.Comment
