Just watched the Fox coverage, which sucked, but the announcers said it was to correct the bikes for corner entry. They sucked, I wanted to punch the american announcer.

Rossi will stick a foot out in either direction. Can't find the interview but from what I remember, its to help with braking and body position going into a turn. From a strategy perspective, it also effectively doubles the width of his bike when he does that and shuts down the inside line. Now he didn't say THAT was why he was doing it, but I'm sure it won't be long until we see kids at the local tracks doing it too

he has been asked about it many times... he says he is just adjusting his leathers... all that braking force into the corners gets your panties twisted in a bit of a wad sometimes

I'm sure everyone here knows about countersteer. Push on the left bar, go left (not right as many might assume). Try this: Stomp your left peg, and see what happens. Yep, that's right, you turn left.
In fact, the fastest way to change direction (a lifesaver when some fucktard pulls out in front of you on the street) is to both push the left bar, and stomp the left peg, at the same time. I'm just guessing here, but think the doctor may be using this phenomenon to his advantage to make the bike turn in faster...
