Talking about the circuit

The start of the lap very much shows you bike philosophy in that the open arcof T1 allows a big bunch (from the start of the race) to get through safely before the kink at T2 thins the pack down into no more that 2 or perhaps 3 wide before the first hard braking zone of T3, almost completely removing the likelihood of a "skittles" (or bowling ball) accident where one rider mid pack miss judges the corner doesn't take out half the field.

On subsequent laps the overtaking option is still there on a bike, as the corner offers a range of lines with differing apex points.

Not a bad thing, but it always makes me think Bike rather than car racing.
