Yeah a lot of them seemed to prefer to run out of road rather than try that little bit more lean - just to see whether they could make it.

Anything over 15* of lean and they start grinding out the bottom frame rails or the exhaust. Amazing that Rossi and Co. can manage 60* before the fairings start to tough down now.
