incredible picture! I see the bike still is not touching. Forget about knees and elbows, maybe this will become the new technique. Dragging shoulder and thigh.
You mean to tell me he actually made it through the corner like that?

I am so looking forward to see Marquez breaking Agostini's record.
And I wish they would bring MotoGP to New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ now that they are no longer racing at Laguna Seca. If it's any consolation, we still have the AMA Pro Road Racing event, the 2014 Kawasaki Devil’s Showdown, September 12-13 at the New Jersey track.

Wow! Some of these guys have an absolutely unnatural ability. If I dragged a knee for the first time, I'd shit myself.

Very similar to the way Marco Simoncelli slid off the right side of his bike like that ... left foot leaving its peg ... but his bike lost traction, then re-gained traction, then Colin Edwards, who I'm sure was looking through the right-hand turn, T-boned him ... an impact which unfortunately Marco did not survive.

Supreme throttle control.
My understanding is the only possible way to save a situation like that is get back on exactly the right amount of gas where as mere mortals like most of us panic and slam the throttle shut.
Not to mention holding the bike up not with his knee but with his side and shoulder!
Crazy skills right there...
