was Chili an example of looking through the corner (everyone else) or down (rossi)?

that one was looking through....though I have some of the latter as well...well..sorta...

So, oh great derby, what is to be made of that?  Is there a Rossi secret, or is it just coincidence the greatest rider ever looks down instead of doing what the books say?

I thought he said something to the effect that he already knows where the track goes?

In this picture he seems to have his head down, but eyes up:

it's one of those bizarre rossi'isms.  says it helps him make small adjustments throughout the corner. 

watch -- you can see him start to look into/through any corner like a normal rider and then actually change his focus to right in front of the bike once he's got it turned.  completely insane.

here's another Chili shot....not exactly looking down or through, but a good shot nonetheless...

Of course, Rossi sometimes looks through his helmet too. (new classic?)
