Yes absolutely. I come from a competitive motocross backround. And what you just said becomes amplified by a huge factor when it comes to getting arm pump.. I allwayse loved the photos of james stewart in the middle of the "bubba scrub" with what looked like only two fingers holding on with each hand. And the pinkys up! I realized the door knov technuiqe watching him heat his bike up wile on the starting line. Its finessfull as fuck
It’s amazing to see just how much braking power can be applied so late into the lean angle/turn. Couple of the turns he was pretty much on the brakes all the way up to the apex. Great display of skilled riding and control 👍
Interesting to see he's still got a handful of brake at some of the apexs with the bar end inches of the tarmac. Obviously not on the same rubber I ride to work on.
I respect the guys who invented the technologeis like slipper clutch, abs, ride by wire which all made this monsterous machines quite easier to ride...
asdfghjkl zxcvbnm I was unaware of that, but makes sense. In that case without a neutral lockout you would be even more susceptible to a false neutral when going down into 1st for the really slow corners. Cheers
I think it's the rear brake, sometimes it can be useful to use it in corners to adjust the traiectory, but if you are turning right your foot is on toe
You can see how he gets lighter on the bars as he feeds in power in the big long turns and holding the brake in turns witch takes a lot skill and feel.
Notice how the throttle is never rotated forward. When he wants to slow he just relaxes his grip, the throttle snaps shut and at the same time reaches for the brake.
Was told I should change my grip for braking/trail breaking and couldn’t find an example of a professional manipulating the gas and break lever the same way it’s comfortable for me to, until now. If it’s good enough for Jack Miller then it’ll be fine for me.
This is my exact grip from riding dirt bike in the 80s, and my same grip today in 2024. Thumb and index for throttle control and my other three fingers for braking. You get way better control of your braking while being able to fully lock in with your throttle as needed.
@@ws5241 thank you for responding. I did feel a lot better knowing Jack Miller does the same. I’d like to ask you a question.. I picked up some tennis racket handle grip tape and thickened up the throttle where my thumb and index is for a more comfortable and secure grip. Have you ever done anything like that?
It's a mechanism that basically locks and unlocks neutral. You can't shift to neutral unless you push it and I think it automatically "locks" again once you shift out of neutral.
@@nurfaidhisadiq6525 you are right. If the rider has a thumb brake it will be on the left. He has no fingers left on his right hand to also work a thumb brake.
@@graemesydney38 he clearly has one finger stuck between brake lever and throttle. Only 3 fingers for braking. I find this counter intuitive because he is limiting how much he can pull the lever.
@@SaqibKhaliq the way the front brake on these motorcycles are set up, you usually get maximum braking and would lock up before the lever touches the finger you still have on the throttle
Hey man, I just saw a video by Simon Crafar in which he explained that it's a lever they press to go into neutral. A motoGP bike doesn't have 1 N 2 3 4 5 6 gearbox but N 1 2 3 4 5 6. Thumb brake is on the left side of the handlebar.
It’s not the rear brake lever (that’s on the left hand side), it’s a torque lever to allow the bike to be put in neutral when going into the pits, and not accidentally hit neutral when kicking down whilst racing … 😎
When I ride I mostly brake with my middle finger (strongest and longest finger on our hand), and when I need more pressure index finger as well. Jack has his style. Be interesting to see which riders do what …
@@ma3stro681I have the same throttle and braking technique as Jack since I've ridin dirt in the 80s, I ride my street bikes the same way today. I faguely remember when I learned it but it ensures you never death grip the bike in any situation allowing the bike to naturally move through turns with minimum input while giving you master control for trail braking. I've tried the modern braking techniques for a riding season and was less comfortable and did not give me better results.
Rear break some corners can't break using the foot break because it's too stop or can't even brake at some point so Moto GP bikes have rear lever break at the throttle
Like Wayne Rainey said,"I can't believe they come out of the corner,wind it to full-throttle,and let the electronics do all the work.!!" I agree. Stoner wanted all that shit removed.It's one of the reasons he left the sport. He also said he was born too late.He much would have preferred to ride a 500 in the golden-era. It's a shame.
It's a shame? You must not race motorcycles yourself. All the modern aids have not only allowed lap times to decrease due to being able to manage the extraordinary amounts of horsepower, but the number of serious injuries and deaths has dramatically decreased as a result too.
@@dancarlos1216 spoken like another person who has never raced motorcycles or even ridden a high performance one in general. Look up Petrucci's crash from this weekend and tell me the electronics do everything.
he holds the handle pretty loose. ive never driven a bike in my life but how does he fight against the g-force, shouldnt that push him off the bike if he accelerates?
Mr. Krabs the rear seat pad helps them hold them in place during acceleration. And they grip the tank with their legs under heavy braking to reduce strain and fatigue on the arms. Most gp riders have the tank and seat unit specifically made to measure for their size and style of riding.
And the most important part is to have a light grip on the handlebars. A motorcycle is designed to be stable and wants to go straight. If you grip the handlebars to tight you are forcing the bike to do things it does not want to and a tank slapper or highsider could be the result.
It's a mechanism that basically locks and unlocks neutral. The way the gearbox is set up is kinda crazy so neutral pretty much doesn't exist until you push that lever.
That is legit the strangest braking technique I've ever seen. Some use the index, some use the index and middle, some use the index middle and ring, and some use all 4, but not this guy. He leaves the index underneath the lever still holding the throttle and uses middle and ring to pull the brake. Wild.
I grew up riding dirt in the 80s and I have the same braking technique. It's been so long I can't remember who taught it to me but it ensures you're not death groping while in turns allowing the bike to naturally move, while at the same time giving you mass control of your brake lever. I tried changing to the index and middle finger system for a riding season and I didn't comfortable or better results so I reverted back.
La course de la poignée de frein est incroyablement courte. Je tourne sur circuit et j ai déjà des poignées réglées très serrées, mais la c est dingue, la course n est qu d un demi centimètre.

Such a relaxed grip! Seems like a contradiction listening to the rpms scream yet its controled like hes casually turning a door knob
Well, I have read we are supposed to have a relaxed grip, and gripping the bike with your legs for stability. 👍

There may be a second hand on the opposite side, but I'm not positive of that..🤣😂😆

that's what it takes to ride a motogp bike in 2020 - electronics do the rest. kind of sad that's all the rider input on the bike.
Very cool. Can we get more like this....showing the controls? Thank you for unique views like this.
You know that saying that goes something like this, "what I'd give to be a fly on the wall." It's like we literally just were! That was cool.

There really is a crack of the throttle when entering mid corner/apex. Vital part that i dont hear being properly explained that much on youtube.
Wait is he letting the throttle snap back when he brakes? Cant really tell, didnt look like he let off
Is the lever on thumb for neutral??
It's a mechanism that basically locks and unlocks neutral. You can't shift to neutral unless you push it and I think it automatically "locks" again once you shift out of neutral.
Is that the Ducati V4? It seems the engine sound is not that loud such as GP19 bike
What is the silver lever for by his thumb?
Is that at 4:01 the choke?
Didntstickthe1v1 I’m pretty sure that thumb lever puts the bike into neutral.
TRC yea thats what my second thought was, but never seen such a lever for that. Usually a choke looks like that.

Thumb brake for rear brake is on the left hand side.
what was that lever he pused towards the end? kill switch?
Definitely a different and informative POV. It's interesting to see that Jack uses three fingers to brake.
Its four finger braking (all four reach forward) but really only the two centre ones are defectively engaged. I think Rossi is the same.
@@graemesydney38 he clearly has one finger stuck between brake lever and throttle. Only 3 fingers for braking. I find this counter intuitive because he is limiting how much he can pull the lever.
@@SaqibKhaliq the way the front brake on these motorcycles are set up, you usually get maximum braking and would lock up before the lever touches the finger you still have on the throttle
What the function of the button near the throttle is ?
That looks so hard. One hand is having to carefully deliver over 200 BHP hold onto the bike and then brake as well.
what does he press with his thumb at the end
rear brake
Hey man, I just saw a video by Simon Crafar in which he explained that it's a lever they press to go into neutral. A motoGP bike doesn't have 1 N 2 3 4 5 6 gearbox but N 1 2 3 4 5 6. Thumb brake is on the left side of the handlebar.

Can someone tell me what is the little silver trigger that he can use whit his thumb ?
This.
Probably the kill switch + putting the gear into neutral
I actually looked at the comments after I posted, but apparently it's a neutral safety switch basically
Nice pramac. I love this angle.
Really really new rider, I thought you had to lower the throttle to change gears, does this not apply to all bike?
Good view to learn from . thanks I just subscribed to you...
Where the hell is his point of contact at 2:46?
that last squeaky brakes,,niceeee
What is that thumb trigger doing? He hits before killing the motor..is it the pit speed limiter?
Or a neutral engagement lever or somthing?
Yeah I’m pretty sure it puts the bike into neutral
