well its cant be something you take to quickly...

"In 1993, Rossi acquired a Cagiva Mito 125cc motorcycle, which was damaged in a first-corner crash no more than a hundred meters out from pit lane.

The bike was repaired, giving Rossi an opportunity to correct his first-corner mistake, only to crash it going into the second corner."

He, also is not racing on the street, where there are far more hazards to be aware of

The man is a human calculator...he seems to spend more time tweaking his bike and learning about the track than riding.

Which helps explain why he's so damn good. Know the course, know your bike, and the execution becomes muscle memory.
