Stonerin lontoonkielinen näkemys siitä vasemman jalan roikuttamisesta:
Interview with Casey Stoner said:
Q Can you talk a little bit about your dirt-track background? You raced dirt-track in Australia, right?
A There's not a lot to say. I raced dirt-track from when I was four til when I was 14, pretty much. Thirteen. That's about it. We always had the intention of going roadracing. There was never a time that we thought we're going to go to motocross or any other direction. We just used dirt-track because it was the only thing we could ride, at the time, for my age. There was no mini-motos, things like this, going round. So it was the best solution we could do. I suppose it's a very good breeding ground to come to the MotoGP class.
Q I ask because I noticed last year when you were running it in really hard on left-handers, your left foot would go light on the peg once in a while.
A Yeah, but Valentino does the same thing, and so does Dani, and they've got almost no dirt-track background or experience.
Q Is it a comfort thing?
A No, all it is is leverage, really. As you go on the brakes, before - you go back your gears, and then just before you put your foot back on the footpeg, it's sort of a leverage, to sort of help it tip in, I suppose. But there's nothing you can really explain of why we do it. It's just it's a natural thing, the way we ride. But it's not any particular reason. It's definitely not coming from dirt- track.
