Yes, we work on this a lot with riders at the school. We have them imagining the pass or planning ahead and thinking of when and where might be good places to overtake. Sometimes slowing down and setting up a pass works a lot better then trying to stab pass at random spots. As Yakaru said, we want to pass in areas where the door is opening and not closing (for track day and school passing). Passing during racing is different
What are the usual barriers to passing? What tends to prevent smooth, seamless passing?
