Pourcel sounds like he's going into that corner in 4th gear.

Cool little clip.... JH was definitely on it......but who knows actually how hard Seb was pushing it in that one corner? Also....being on a 450 .....it needs a little more throttle control. Impressive either way though.

450 v 250 and Pourcel didn't do it clean. He's every bit as talented as Chris on his day, take that vid again and could be either way.

Yes looks like Pourcel mucked up the corner a bit. Herlings was on it, wish he would go to America.

This second clip of Tomac still makes my jaw drop.

A rider on a 250F should carry more corner speed, they have a handling advantage over the 450.

Doesn't look like Pourcel is even trying. Nice clip though. Can't even compare the two.

The author of the vid commented below it that Seb made a mistake in that turn. According to him, he was running the exact same lap times as JH all day.

I saw Seb blow the corner with several foot dabs.

I saw Herlings do the corner proper with zero foot dabs.

Not a good comparison Bro's

Hi, this is my first post here, I am from saint thibery France. And I saw Jeffrey an Seb last saturday on our track. Herlings have a lot of speed on the corners that was a grat moment to see him riding our track.
