Just giving you a gentle push in the direction you would already be going in.

I think we'll have plenty to mull over once testing gets underway.
Maybe we should follow the racing "down under" for the next few months. |

I'm going to Austin! I want to be first in line. Maybe buy a new bike for the occasion...

Question for those who know more about racing than I do - which would be the majority... What is the purpose of countersteering while the front is completely unloaded and the bike is powering out of a bend? I notice that a lot of riders do it but Stoner seems to be the most extreme exponent as in the video link above. Any insight into this? |
