I am not saying it's your problem in this case, but I watched it all last weekend at the track, 38 degrees... brrrrr.

A chilled (physically cold) rider can be stiff and rigid, as the muscles fight off the effects of cold weather. Feels like you're pressing the controls with the same amount of force, but in reality.... it can be somewhat different. There were a few riders who had on a thermal base layer and you could see it in their riding that they were more comfortable.

Food for thought....
