If those aren't totally PS, then Rossi's 'physique' clearly proves that a rider doesn't need pythons or pecs to win races, or titles...
You also have to keep in mind that the Yamaha is probably the least physically demanding bike of the 3 main factories.

Exactly!

The reason Casey could go fast on the Duc was he let it do what it wanted to do and trusted the electronics...or Livio...not sure. Grin

I was told by one of the factory guys that he had his electronics set to the minimum, HE was riding/controlling 90% of the time . . . Some time ago they published his telemetry from I do not remember which track and throttle opening and closing were done, lap after lap, on almost the same spot on each one; the race looked like a big thick line . . . I will try to recover that image, hope that I copy it to one of my external drives

I think he rode that thing half like a 500 and half like dirt track with rear wheel steering. I also was of the impression that he had the TC etc turned down to the minimum. It appesred that letting it do its thing still required muscle with the back hanging out. Somehow he blended muscle with incredible finesse. In an interview Nicky (RIP) said he couldnt understand some of the things CS did from the telemetry as it didnt make sense. I always thought Nicky would do ok with his dirt track background. My perspective however is based from my couch. Grin

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
