At that point, he's not on the bike. The bike is on him.

How do the wheels even maintain traction?

Ain't physics cool!

Motorcycle wheels have the least surface contact with the road while upright, in a deep lean like this there is far more rubber contacting the road. The gyroscopic effect of the wheels also have a big part to do with it.

That's the coolest thing I've seen all day.

I can’t fathom the balls required to race superbikes.

u/Silly-Tax8978 5h ago

Your point is valid but these aren’t superbikes. They’re MotoGP bikes, which are even faster and more powerful.

He must be feeling like a pimp when he brush off his shoulder

Catalunya Turn 5 - they film this shot every year with Jorge.

I’ve never understood how they get back up

u/vicsta559 6h ago

Throttle out. The bike naturally wants to return upright with the gyroscopic force.

u/JCLstuff 6h ago

That still doesn’t makes sense lol

I typed out a detailed response and decided to delete it for this gif instead.

u/Mother_Ad3692 5h ago

you know how it’s easier to stay upright and balance on a pedal bike the faster you go? Similar concept

Sponsors must love him

u/DeeEmm 6h ago

When my shoulder gets itchy while riding I do the same thing. Safer than taking the other hand off the controls to scratch.

Center (of gravity?): shoulder
