I know the title will get the anger juices flowing.
The articles neither here nor there but the telemetry is pretty interesting to have a peruse.

It just shows how much of a world of difference there is.

this isnt a shes slow shes at the back blah blah blah, it could of been any bsb rider for all i care. Its just intresting to me to see the graphs back to back. Especially the 100% throttle one. Does the average inters rider honestly never open the throttle 100%. Do i? i think i do, im pretty sure i do... who knows. Its also interesting that she carries less corner speed than the average inters rider.

It might not interest any of you at all but i find it worth a gander.

Only on the internet can a 'conversation'/thread/talking point that highlights with proof how good she(or any racer that it would of happened to track) is Compared to us normys be littered with comments trying to prove she is good. Isn't that just obvious.

I don't think there's even been a comment on this thread saying she's slow im faster or she shouldn't be in bsb yet there's loads that seem to be trying to prove/convince she is faster or she's good enough to be in bsb.

I either posted a thread or just a link to that Lee Costello inters group video when I first saw it for pretty much Exactly the same reason as this thread. Because it's amazing to physically see the difference between us and proper racers. not to prove anything.


People seem to need to fight her corner even though there's no real need as the proofs in the pudding. And im sure 99.9% of people people understand the gap from trackdayer to bab rider.

Trouble is would you do that if someone just gave you the keys to a new fireblade. You never know if the rider in question usually rides a 600 if he was given all morning to adjust, or maybeit was his bike I dun o. You could probably run round most of the UK tracks and be in the top half of inters by never using anything other than 2nd and 3rd on most new 1000cc bikes.
