Top 10 Reasons Why MotoGP is Awesome: #2 — Poetry in Motion

As I said in an earlier post, MotoGP is the best of the best. Therefore the riders can certainly ride a motorcycle and it is a spectacle to watch when they find their groove.

The second reason why MotoGP is awesome is poetry in motion.

One things that I say is poetry in motion is when a rider can get out at the front of the race and just pound out lap after lap of fast laps. It does not make for an interesting or exciting race, but it is incredible to see the rider in harmony with the motorcycle. That is why MotoGP riders are the best.

Another example of poetry in motion is when riders are grouped together during the race and they seem to form a single line while riding around the track. This usually happens when they are all fighting for a certain place in the race.

One good example though is during the first lap of the Laguna Seca race on the famous "Corkscrew" turn. It is a quick left-right that plunges down a steep hill. All the bikes flow like a wave down through the corner.

It can be seen here, although there is a lot of empty track at the beginning of the video, so fast-forwarding is advised.

That is why the bikes being poetry in motion is the second reason why MotoGP is awesome.
