Default QUESTION ABOUT RACING POSTURES

Why does the rider throw out a knee and shift weight long before the turn: is this for air-braking to slow the bike?

How does the rider get so low on the bike? I couldn't get quite so low as to see through the windscreen.

Are racing footpegs set farther back than stock? My elbows either hit, or overlap my knees.


I'm not racing, or running a track yet. I'm just curious.
