Thats what I figured, I see them take the foot of of their peg and it reminds me of MOTOX. I also see them do it as well sometimes with their left foot to reposition for shifts. Im running GP and have yet to find the need to take my foot completely off to reposition it for a downshift or upshift.

I'd agree with ya there!

Totally crazy race, especially between Rossi and Capriossi I was on the edge of my seat, sometimes off and sometimes screaming during the last 4 laps.

I hope Rossi wins in Australia

And 99% of America couldn't give a sh!t. Even the announcers were saying that they were doing more passing in one lap than the entire field does in an F 1 race. It really is amazing. I'll be telling stories about this sh!t to my two little boys someday.

It's just Rossi's unique way of regaining his balance with the bike, I'm sure if any of us ran that hot into a turn like that we might be inclined to do the same thing without even thinking about it.
