look how much lower rossi's back is compared to me. it's almost a straight line. he's tucked up right against the tank. amazing.

it's amazing how compact they get on those bikes. And the screen is much taller too.

[knedrgr]

does his bike have a step seat?

if you look closely, he's more to the right and a back further than you are.
your crack is in teh middle of the seat, and his is more to the right side of the seat.
that itself would flatten your back a little more.

i'm setting up for turn 11

[knedrgr]

the angle on this leg is also larger, so it looks like the seat is a little higher.

His tank is lower....and his torso is longer, all adding to his lower position.
