Looking at the asphalt is simply not an option; there’s no time for that. <\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a fact that the faster we travel in a vehicle, the less time we have to react <\/strong>to the curves and obstacles we’re about to face in the track.\u00a0The surroundings we percieve move at the same speed, quickly bypassing our field of vision. We can only imagine how difficult it must be for Marc M\u00e1rquez<\/a> and Jorge Lorenzo<\/a> to navigate atop their MotoGP bikes.<\/p>\n

First of all, the riders don’t focus on what’s close to them, but instead plan their reactions based on reference points located farther off in the distance. Signs, indicators, and curbstones are highly useful when racing on the World Championship circuits. The riders navigate turns, gear changes, braking, and steering by relying largely on muscle memory and their familiarity with the circuit<\/strong>. M\u00e1rquez and Pedrosa use their intimate knowledge of each track to seek out the best route. They decide how to handle each section before they get there, using the information they have from previous laps and the visible reference points. A profound understanding of space and distance is clearly a big help<\/strong> when deciding how to react at top speeds.<\/p>\n
