I disagree, he could have backed that thing in a lot better...
granted, I only watched the vid once, but from what I recall, he was leaning off the Duc quite a bit, which if you are using the full capabilities of the bike, you should'nt be able to do, the bike should be so cranked over you can't lean off it that much, as you can see in the pic I attached...
granted, the Duc was on street tires and not the slicks that Rossi there is on, but still, I feel he could have gotten more out of the bike...
oh, and mebbe late apexing the turns would have gotten him further ahead of the Lambo... bikes accelerate like crazy, but their top speed is limited due to the fact that they are only aerodynamic until you put a rider on them, a rider on a well designed sportbike is prolly the aerodynamic equivelant of an open parachute...
just my opinion...
