The MotoGP Manual of Track Riding Skills
MotoGP riders are at the very top of their game. They're the racers who really do push the limits of what can be achieved when braking, cornering and accelerating a motorcycle at high speed. In terms of riding techniques, they're in a league of their own — a league that hasn't been fully explored until now.
Written by a professional riding coach, this book reveals the techniques that the stars have discovered and applied to their own competitive riding. This information is distilled to provide practical instruction of benefit to anyone who rides a bike on a track.
If you want to learn how top racers can brake so late, how they can slide the rear wheel of their bikes so gracefully and effectively, how they can lean their bikes over so far and still stay on board, then this book will help you. It will enlighten you and enable you to achieve significant improvements in your own riding.
This is a book of riding knowledge from the greatest motorcycle racers in the world, riding the best bikes in the world on the greatest race tracks in the world. Much of the guidance is a case of fine detail because in their world even the tiniest piece of information or subtlety of application can make a big difference to their lap times.
If we cannot learn from these riding gods, then who can educate us? Take a look to see what you can learn about your own riding and how you can improve it.
