Is his form OK on this turn?

[Speeddog]

Borrowed from Crash

[El Matador]

Damn, just damn. I mean that's got to be like a 55 degree lean angle he's got going on there.

[The Bearded Duc]

He looks unbelievably relaxed to me.

I've never been on a track though.

That lean is damn near crazy!! 

[stopintime]

That's not possible  I can prove it 

No, seriously, I've seen racers do that on a regular basis. Impressive
AFAIK - that's only possible because the tires bend/twist a little under pressure.

Form OK?
Maybe a knee down on those curbs spell t-t-t-t-r-r-r-ouble ?  More elbow/head/ass instead?

[MadDuck]

Carlos Checha? I think he knows something about cornering.

[herm]

its ok as long as the rear sprocket doesn't drag...

[fastwin]

That's photo-shopped. No one can do that!

Carlos Checha? I think he knows something about cornering.

Yuppers!....

[derby]

it's really just an optical illusion caused by the camera at an odd angle and raised curbing. look at how far his footpeg is from the track.

[kopfjäger]

[Triple J]

I agree that the camera angle and curbing make it look insane...but damn, he's still way the hell over. 

[Triple J]

...and

[Jester]

On-camber corners with raised curbing always give those insane photos.  That's the ideal scenario for a good moto shot.

[zooom]

that is the tires for GP (and maybe WSBK as well) are made with such distinct V shaped profiles that they are optimized for traction contact patch while leaned over moreso than straight up and down...
