I agree with the folk saying it was a daft pass on a trackday, but I've had worse (from a GSXR thou track bike I'd just passed, total red mist...) and didn't grab a handful of brake- just straightlined the corner and carried on. It's not he standing up that gets him, it's the panic after.
Wonder if she'd be getting the same sort of response if she was a man?  |
Yeah, I reckon it was clean enough and it was him bricking it and grabbing a handful that was the problem ... there appeared to be room from what I could see ... I have run a much tighter ship than that before meseln
Did you notice the speed she overtook the 2 bikes when she first came into shot ... it doesn't look it, but that is a flat out corner they are approaching ... so she is maxed out in 5th, or ruddy high in 6th ... they basically pussied out before she did
Oh and BTW that was a race school and he was a school instructor IIRC ... so they should be used to getting overtaken like that or need to get used to it
