The more experience you have the better off you will be as you will have a much better understanding of and appreciation for competing in a motorcycle race. Key factors that are essential are consistency and predictability gathered via participation at track days or via coaching. Decreasing lap times requires excellent control of braking, sustained momentum in corners and excellent throttle control on exits combined with an acute awareness of the riders around you and in front of you – and that means passing riders with care and diligence.
