The Eurosport commentators call it Rossi's stress monitor as he does it when he's trying harder, like coming into a corner a bit too fast.

That`s it! We all know what it feels like to be in two inches of riding gear then getting an itchy foot or back.

I think it was Pedrosa`s choice to use those tyres. Just a set up mistake. Rookies make mistakes like that, it`s part of the learning process

I have been noticing riders more and more frequently now, removing their left foot from the peg on left turns. Any idea why their doing this?

To readjust their foot positioning. There's a whole thread about the discussion somewhere around here.

And my poor Pedrosa has to take the blame for all the riders following his style of removing left foot off the peg.

Maybe, but Pedrosa does it on every corner practically. He made it cool

Apparently Rossi usually does it when he comes into a corner a bit too fast, so the Eurosport commentators call it the Rossi stress monitor.

I've been Watching Rossi do it since he rode for Honda.. IMO he started it. Used to irritate me when the commentators would say he got in to hot or he's losing it..

When i race i don't do that, i squeez myself to the bike as hard as i can. i just can't see someone do that. there not dirt tracking out there so they should keep themselves as close to the bike as they can to make themslves fo faster. more aerodynamics. Good job to Hayden. when i ride moving my foot or something out of what i am used to scares the
s$#t out of me. i am out of my routine. they just have a nasty habit like smoking. Sooner or later one of them will pay for it.
