Insane! I suppose having the best tires and suspension money can buy has its advantages....

Not to mention the absolute best traction control electronics available too....no way under the sun they could ride like that without the computer modulating power to the rear wheel as necessary to control spin. You see them on corner exit just WHACKING the throttle open...on a 250 HP+ machine....I believe 75% of the grid would be grippled in 3 races or less if they were to go back to pure 500cc two stroke race bikes tomorrow...electronics has taken the place of throttle control to a large degree in MotoGP.

You ever looked at the profile of the GP tires? It's fucking sick! The only reason why they can't lean more is because they can't possibly tuck their knees up against the bike anymore. I love those extreme angles, they often end up on my computer's background.
