Was reading through some of my Valentino Rossi book the other day and he was talking about a race at Donnington park on the old 500's. He was talking about the motions through Redgate, he said about going through the corner, and balls of feet on the pegs also(common knowledge)

Now the bit that got me...

I know he's a racer and it prob has more effect on track and stuff, but he said the he pushed down hard on the pegs to gain a bit more grip upon exiting.

Does that work? Do you apply pressure to both sides or just the side your exiting that has more contact on the ground, i thought that may get her looser if you are applying pressure on rear tyre on the side that is not making contact with the ground.

Do people use it on the road? And racers on here do you use it?
