I know this is coming a little old, but I just remembered it while watching some highlights today...
In entering one of the corners, Rossi and Stoner both would let their left leg hang way out off the bike. The announcer said it was so they could "properly align the bike" for entry into the corner. My question is... how does this assit in getting the bike setup for the corner... and why were Rossi and Stoner so more exaggerated in their body positioning than anyone else?
