On the sharpest dirt hairpins are they(he) gearing down to second or all the way to first gear? It also sounded like they were doing several downshifts with the clutch in and throttle off while braking on the approach to each hairpin. Is this preferred to engine braking between downshifts? Sorry for the newbie question, just curious. | ||

As far as I know their running slipper clutches. | ||

After reading Rossi's remarks about IOM TT racers, I wonder what he would say about Pike's Peak? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/8090246 .stm |
