       They'd do a slomo showing the transitions in the esses and every so often the M/Cs would shudder and shake somewhat vioently. And you just KNOW these machines Are built near as perfect as possible. But those 60 degree lean angles put them closer to the pavement than I'd care to try at my advanced years!  Roll Eyes Far as the ipe outs go-there were a couple. But as stated-got up and walked to the ambulance. The bikes faired way orse than the Riders appeared to. RIDE SAFE.

I've been to a quite a few Road Races. I've seen AMA (now MotoAmerica) WSBK and MotoGP races.  Those guys and gals are amazing riders. MotoGP is the best of the best. Hurricane IKE was at the INDY MotoGP and those guys were still doing 200mph in the rain. Crazy

Best of the young guns nowadays is Fabio Quartararo of France.
6 podiums (4 wins, 2 seconds) in 9 races this year.  Yamaha.
The guy starts with a small lead and just keeps extending it over 30 laps.
Pretty flawless technical riding and passing in his style as he's only his third year of GP.
Someone worth watching.  Smooth. Smiley
