Riding long ruts

[Philip]

Why don't these oval road racers just learn to ride the berm/rut like all motocross racers do??? Sit on the tank, weight on the outside peg, left leg stretched far forward!

Wow. Interesting that the MotoGP guys have been dangling their legs for the last few years, seems strange to me, but doesn't appear to be slowing them down any.

It's an air brake. Also, it speeds up the turn-in when youi put the leg back onto the footpeg.
