Learning a track Part 2..... And if you missed Part 1, you might want to watch it first • Q & A with Simon Crafa... Don't forget to subscribe and why not ask your question below in the comments
Simon ... I do hang on your lips as you speak. You really have unbelievable skills, transferring your knowledge and breaking down complex procedures to the things that matter. We can’t drive on track right now, but I definitely could recap several mistakes I did and fears I encountered and maybe also overcome, just by listening to you, laying on the couch. I know we are having a difficult time right now, but I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate what you’re doing and I love it! Thank you! Best regards, Mike

The slow in, fast out technique is fine for when you're learning, novices and intermediates because it is one thing ,"trail Braking" that they don't have to remember or learn to do , it's less complicated, heck even for advanced riders that are not in competition. But if you going to race, nope. Racing requires you use every advantage. SIde bar: another good thing about trail braking is that you learn to brake in less than a straight up position and it teaches you extended braking techniques that can even be useful on the street.

Great answer Simon ;-) I remember going to a few track days for some practice and at this one track for some reason most of the track riders were closing the throttle at the start finish line and braking for the corner. On my 250GP bike 1 was clicking up 1 gear traveling another 200 meters then brake for the turn. It was hard to convince most of the track riders to NOT brake at the start finish line a few tried but for some reason they kept thinking that painted line was a brake point.

hi simon, why do motogp riders sometimes lean the bike in the opposite direction to the corner(right turn, leaning the bike to the left) while or shortly before braking? there is one corner in sepang(don't know which one) or turn 2 in valencia, i have seen this.

Hi Simon, I love Philip island and was wondering if you could explain how Casey Stoner does turn 3 aka Stoner's corner? I've seen him slow mo almost like he's drifting, but surely he can't be drifting as that would burn up tyres. Yet, nobody else seems to quite do it the way he does. Would be great if you could cover this in a future Q&A if possible.

Hi Simon, great advice like always, thank you! I'm curious if you have met many riders with hearing loss. I have seen even professional racers that don't seem to put in hearing protection before putting on their helmets. I couldn't imagine riding fast without earplugs. Do you think hearing loss is a common condition in racers or is it possible to get away with it, even without wearing protection?

Do you have any suggestions on adjusting ergonomics? I’ve found I need the pegs further forward and up. Forward so I feel I can lift myself to move side to side easier without putting more weight on bars. And they are higher so I can move my thigh across the seat without having to stretch my foot down to reach the peg (short legs). Anything to consider for finding a proper position? Also, would you adjust the height of the shifter differently for regular shift vs. GP shift?
