Ben Bostrom, Valencia 2005. 155 remained puzzled by the CBR1000RR all season. In quiet moments, away from the TV cameras, riders convey complex physical sensations into actionable information. Data acquisition does not map a rider's confidence in the bike, or himself. In between sessions, the engines silent, mirrored sunglasses resting atop a toolbox, a rider's true face is revealed. |
Pier Francesco Chili, Valencia, 2005. The strain of developing the Klaffi Honda CBR1000RR from a streetbike into a competitive WSBK racer is clear. |
Carl Fogarty, Monza 2004. A pure racer, lost within himself as manager of the ill-fated Foggy Petronas team. |
Garry McCoy, Sultan of Slide - totally perplexed by the Ducati 999. 2004 |

James Toseland, soaked with sweat, Assen 2004. |
Chris Walker - Magny Cours, 2004. Walker was afflicted with Bell's Palsy just prior to the start of the season. |
