I read an article a while ago that went into detail about the things that the Moto GP riders did to go fast. There's all kinds of things going on that aren't evident to the observer. Those that can master the little things are the ones that set themselves apart from the pack.
Moto GP bikes are ridiculously light and powerful,..350 pounds, 240 horsepower. One has to be a "born" motorcycle racer to even come close to taking one of those machines to its potential.
