I'm not really a fan of Lorenzo as a person, but he's incredibly smooth and has the whole body position thing really going on. One of the cameras on his bike points at his head and chest from the right side of the fairing (that shot is in the video embedded above) and I love going to school on that footage. It's a great way to pass the winter... I highly recommend it.
I know I go on a lot about BP and the study thereof... maybe too much.
I also know that BP is just one part of a much larger thing, but I firmly believe in the concept of getting the fundamental bits and pieces right. To me, getting the BP right sets me up for success in other aspects of riding on the track. It's all about simplicity...
If I get my BP right, it's one less thing to worry about or correct as I start to go faster.
If I start to go faster and run into a problem caused by poor body position (e.g. riding crossed-up), then I have to back way up and re-learn how to go faster all over again after I correct the body position thing.
Small steps, small steps.....
