I like this new thought. Thatd be awesome if after a win he told everyone in the interview thats why he did it.

If you watch it, it's a very slow movement to stick the leg out and not something you would do if you were stomping with the other side. Almost looks like he is doing a stablization movement as if he was walking a wire in the circus.

that's what it looks like just looking at the picture but I'm still going with making his bike wider going into the corner like I said earlier.

They do it in practice when no ones around them, there is something else to it besides that. I have seen Rossi do it while he is a good ways in the lead with no one around him.

Did Rossi ever ride dirt bike? I'll learned to ride motorcycle off road. It's a very effective way to help keep your balance.

But I do like the possibility that he's playing mind games.. Later he gets to say
