    I did one track day so far on my RSV4. It was one of the most physically intense things I've done. I was absolutely wasted at the end of the day. I actually left early because I knew I was too fatigued and didn't want to crash. And I wasn't doing anything close to what the GP riders do. It blows my mind how these guys are able to do a full race at their level.

      Same, I had an R1 that had been tuned and raced at the Isle of Man TT. I'd been riding it for a year or so and took it out on a track day, after 7-8 laps I had to go back to the pits. For me it was a little bit more mental than physical, the approach speeds into a corner that you have , on a bike that can accelerate so quickly and stop so f'n fast was more than my brain could accept at the time. And that is nothing like MotoGP.

      Congratulations on your first track day brother! It really is incredibly physically strenuous, more so than most people realize. I wear a heart monitor when I ride and I routinely go into the 180s during a session and have even gone as high as 200bpm.

    I knew Moto GP was wild, but having a breakdown like this really hammers home that these people *are* athletes. Just since I started taking my riding more seriously last year, I've had to increase my fitness to be more effective. Before the season started this year, I was doing squats and lunges with my kid on my back in preparation. I honestly don't know any other women who can rep 10 squats with a 60lb child attached, but it means my body actually has the capability to do the things I tell it to do. Now that I'm trying out more advanced techniques, I notice the difference!

    Every year, in every sport from skate boards to football to motorcycle racing to BMX to every olympic sport and all the newer ones, we see human beings doing things that are more and more utterly unimaginable. Is there a limit? Are we seeing some kind of evolution occuring in a very short time? Of course the equipment gets better, but...the humans using it are simlpy doing stuff no one dreamed of 30 years ago. It is phenomenal.

    I did a few track days on my Monster 1200S. It was an amazing experience, and holy fook, it was exhausting. I enjoyed it so much I bought a Daytona 675R track bike. Even the smaller bike is bloody exhausting. The next day Im like a vegetable at home. Anyone that thinks riding a bike on the limit is not a physically demanding sport, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about

  • @Torqu3e
    @Torqu3e Місяць тому +13

    I recently raced for the first time and used the exhale, head drop at exit to push the bike away to get that extra bit of drive for lining up a pass into T1. Of course I am nowhere near a pro rider and could probably have just pinned the throttle and come out fine but the mental comfort of the fact that the rear has a bit of a more fighting chance since its on the fatter part was worth it.

    Awesome video!
    I knew they were fit, but adding some numbers to it really helps me get a sense of how hard they are working. This is truly an extreme sport. Crazy levels of skill to ride the bike in the first place (smoothly, with the power) but it seems like the MotoGP class just cranks the forces up and up and up.
    I can't begin to imagine what it feels like to pop your chest up into a 320kph wind while also trying not to pull a stoppie, and also balance that against 2x your body weight going into your arms while you try to squeeze a bike with one leg. And then to somehow smoothly transition to 45+deg of lean and touch your elbow to the ground.
    Aliens indeed.

    Really enjoyed your explanation of body position with racers. It gives better understanding when you watch races. I must admit I miss the old races where it seemed more effortless for racers to glide thru corners at high speeds.
    My age has watched many changes in all forms of bike racing and riding. Thanks for your work.

  • @closedcasketcustoms
    @closedcasketcustoms 25 днів тому

    The extreme body position hanging off in the corner's helps stall the air and increase air pressure over the high side of the bike creating more down force. Combined with the updated side aero on the bikes, this is very efficient. We never really thought aero would be effective in turns to the degree it is today. Very impressive stuff.

    I’m no Rossi. I’m 36 and ride a ‘18 SV650. When I think I’m going low and looking cool in a corner, I later get home and see I’ve got nearly an inch on each side of the rear tire. It’s got sticky tires I put on, but I still can’t bring myself to extract that much performance on the street. I really wish there was a track near me. I’m not trying to low side or high side on a public road so I play it safe with lean angle. I’m not ashamed of my “chicken strips”. The extra tire is there in case of an emergency.

    I have always speculated that if you can hang further off the bike, you can keep the bike more upright and on a potentially larger tire patch for better grip and stability. Putting that into practice takes a toll on the core muscles and lots of repetition to get consistent, I'm assuming.

    @marvelaturraz5405 Місяць тому +2

    I think a fundamental mistake of analysis happens at 1:45. Unless I'm mistaken, the purported forces which are stated fail to factor the opposing and thus counteracting force of wind resistance upon the rider's upper body. To what degree that occurs varies, but it is a primary factor involved in order to derive the actual net forces experienced by the rider.
    It is still very physically and mentally demanding, but the numbers stated in this video are probably not humanly possible, if they were accurate.

    very interesting video, however, the new Ducati and Aprilia aerodynamics allow the bike to bend more than the Honda style (Marquez hera) with the bike upright and the rider completely off the bike. In fact, an almost classic rider like Bagnaia is going very fast compared to more "acrobatic" riders.

  • @WestbrickFansGotNoBrains
    @WestbrickFansGotNoBrains Місяць тому +3

    finally. people always misunderstand leaning vs hanging off the bike, they think it's the same thing but it's actually opposite
    1. so they can accelerate faster out of corner while keeping the bike more upright while body hang offs the bike
    2. To get the bike to turn more when attacking a corner.
    summary, you hang off the bike more so you can lean less to turn the bike, especially good when exiting.
    7:53 is an example. enea hangs so far off.

    It’s interesting how some tech guys find new ways to go ‘ faster ‘.

    • @compt3ck
      @compt3ck Місяць тому +1

      I raced for years and the only time I would touch the rear brake was on exit of a corner to control wheel spin which wasn't very often. This was around the time traction control was becoming common so now there's not much use for a rear brake. Some of the pros say they use a little to rotate the bike but I think that's pretty rare. Under hard braking the rear tire has little to no weight on it.

    Pretty soon they will have AI actuated gyrostabalized wing surfaces that keep the machine planted in these manuevers. The bike will literally look like a fly by wire jet flicking its control surfaces back and forth, making small adjustment to keep the machine stable. And why not, we all have a close relationship with the air moving over bodies and cars have been doing it for decades now.

    I am a bit sceptical about riders taking 'V shaped' lines. I wonder if the title is a misnomer & they are actually doing something else. I see no evidence of V lines watching laps. From your diagram of the V line through the bend, the rider would have to turn on a very tight radius indeed mid-corner that would have to be relatively slow not to outdo tyre grip. I wonder if riders are actually taking tighter lines than before. This would be on a smaller radius where they turn in later. Top speed through the curve is slower than with a wide, sweeping line but it allows full gas sooner (surely the main goal) & the bike follows a constant radius arc without the need for steering input mid-corner...

    Maaaan these guys are putting their trust in perfectly engineered tracks and $10,000 tires…… no need to even talk about their technique unless you’re racing with a budget… A big budget…. It’s like trying to mimic GT3 cars in your Honda civic on your crappy road….

    I think this leg dangle nonsense is Rossi’s sense of humor in action. A little gift of silliness from him to the future. I can just see Rossi giving a little smirk and wink of the eye when asked about this in ten years. I wonder how many knee surgeries it will take until they stop doing this? Honestly, I don’t think even motocross riders should be putting a leg off the pegs and out unless forced to by deep ruts. It’s safer and more controlled to keep your feet on the pegs, like trials riders. Just my opinion and I know, everyone has one.

    Meh, looks easy. The bikes basically ride themselves.

    Isn't this the result of new bikes being a lot more stable and easier to ride than they used to be 10-20 years ago?
