Gonna be interesting in strong crosswinds  [coffee]

"Interesting note from the end of the Crash article: the rule doesn't ban aerodynamic devices that are enclosed within the bodywork..."  Is it just me, or this rule as clear as mud?

More on winglets re Dani, and aero in general.

Fair warning, it contains the usual amount of Honda's modesty about their kit. [roll]
And a fair bit of propagandist chest thumping.

Hmmm...

these guys must read each others pieces...

Because the technical part certainly is important, but in bike racing, what still makes the difference is the rider’s brain.

...or it's true. ;D

Unless you're Crashy Andrew or MM. They use less brain and more brawn.

I don't think that's what they were getting at. You're describing riding style.

I'm not a fast guy, but even at my level there are days that it just feels right, and other days I have no feeling with the bike at all. Before I took a break from riding to build my house it was feeling great, and I could ride with most anyone at the track. Since I got back on bike issues, and my rustiness, haven't allowed me to go as fast...or fast at all. I 'think' there's something wrong.

If these guys 'think' that somethings wrong they can't push. It's a crew chiefs job to convince them that they did something to the bike, or actually make a change, so it feels better.
