Many riders will have some idea of how they can use their bodies for the benefit of performance, particularly when it comes to cornering positions, but in truth, many of those same riders will only be scratching the surface of what the very best are doing.

When it comes to using the body to their advantage, modern MotoGP riders are taking things to a whole different level. Not just in how they hang off the bike, but in how they use their bodies through every single section of a given race track.

In this video I’m going to highlight 7 key techniques that the very best riders are using, as well as attempting to convey just what it takes to operate at that level.

    Hi gang! Yes... this is a reupload. There was part of the original video I wasn't happy with because of a mistake in my research, so I've tweaked it and posted it again. Enjoy!

    I did one track day so far on my RSV4. It was one of the most physically intense things I've done. I was absolutely wasted at the end of the day. I actually left early because I knew I was too fatigued and didn't want to crash. And I wasn't doing anything close to what the GP riders do. It blows my mind how these guys are able to do a full race at their level.
  • I knew Moto GP was wild, but having a breakdown like this really hammers home that these people are athletes. Just since I started taking my riding more seriously last year, I've had to increase my fitness to be more effective. Before the season started this year, I was doing squats and lunges with my kid on my back in preparation. I honestly don't know any other women who can rep 10 squats with a 60lb child attached, but it means my body actually has the capability to do the things I tell it to do. Now that I'm trying out more advanced techniques, I notice the difference!

    I recently raced for the first time and used the exhale, head drop at exit to push the bike away to get that extra bit of drive for lining up a pass into T1. Of course I am nowhere near a pro rider and could probably have just pinned the throttle and come out fine but the mental comfort of the fact that the rear has a bit of a more fighting chance since its on the fatter part was worth it. Have learnt so much from your channel over the years, thank you for continuing to make great content!

    Thank you for your channel. It is one of the best channels I now. It helps me so much developing my riding on the track, to be a better rider and to understand what I am doing, and what I have to do to become better. Thank you so much for your work, I love your channel.
  • Ahh very exciting to see the boys shouldering it around the corners , I believe they call it evolution !

    Great insights, presented in great fashion!
  • @steviecbf
    great video. i cant believe how many low side saves we see now because of how far they are off the bike in the corners, great reactions and strength to push the bike back onto the tyre.

    Don't forget Kenny Roberts! He invented the " extreme Leaning" or " knee draggin". I remember watchin' him in the 70's and 80's.
