250cc bikes dominating 600cc bikes, this dream will no longer be a dream with this motorcycle.
Lin Yan glanced at Yan Xiaoqiang and Jiang Qimo. The two of them didn't seem too shocked, clearly Zhou Xianyong had already told them the exact specifications of this motorcycle.
Lin Yan paused and continued.
"From today onwards, besides your daily training, you will need to do two more things: control your weight and practice falling. I will take you to experience the falling training myself later. Let's talk about weight control first."
Control weight? Yan Xiaoqiang and Jiang Qimo were stunned. What was this? Wasn't controlling weight just losing weight? They knew this. The lighter, the better.
"Controlling weight is not about being as light as possible.

At the same time, on the track of the Ben Tian training base, Daniel once again overtook Reisner with overwhelming dominance. The staff members below were already numb, and the initial excitement and shock had long since disappeared. This was not the first time Daniel had overtaken Reisner.
They couldn't quite gauge the gap in their strength, but the fact that Daniel could be on par with Reisner after only an hour of testing was a terrifying display of skill and adaptability to the race car.
As for adaptability to the race car, it wasn't entirely unexpected. Some of the veteran technicians from the factory team might know something, as Daniel had previously ridden the Ben Tian factory team's cars. He had only transferred later. Now, returning to his old team, Ben Tian's race cars hadn't changed drastically. They were only upgraded annually on the original basis, still called the RC213V.
In the past twenty years, there had only been three true generational leaps, from the RC211V to the RC213V.
Watching Daniel dominate the track, the young apprentice's jaw was agape. Wheelieing out of a corner, this was simply insane. GP races also had wheelies out of corners, but that was on the verge of electronic control activation. Daniel, however, had his front wheel completely suspended about seven or eight centimeters off the ground. He was truly risking his life.
"Master, is it really okay for him to ride like this?"
The young apprentice turned to the chief technician beside him with a dazed expression. Hearing his question, the Ben Tian chief technician shook his head. Daniel had ridden like this back then.
"Teacher, you say he's so good, why don't we sign him..."
The young apprentice blurted out this sentence inexplicably, but then he realized he had said the wrong thing. Such words were clearly inappropriate here.
In reality, his thought was simple: since Daniel was so skilled, why not sign him directly and keep him as a formal rider for Ben Tian? After all, he was much better than their team's second rider.
However, to the young apprentice's surprise, his master actually explained it to him.
"One is due to his status, and the other is because he's not stable enough."
The Ben Tian chief technician said with a sigh, looking at Daniel on the track. That's right, even without electronic controls, Daniel could handle the race car very well. But ultimately, he was still human and couldn't avoid mistakes. Among all riders, Daniel was not considered particularly stable. On the contrary, without the assistance of electronic controls, his chance of making mistakes was much higher than other riders. This was the drawback of not having electronic controls.
Riders were divided into two factions: the conservative faction and the aggressive faction. The aggressive faction had an extreme riding style, which translated to speed on the lap times but a high risk of crashing. They liked to push the limits, while the conservative faction's lap times were not as fast, but they were stable.
Vinales, who had taken Daniel's championship back then, was like that. Although injuries were a factor, Vinales' stability was a given. He didn't crash once throughout the season. Even though he wasn't first, he was almost always on the podium in every race. Daniel, who was first, had retired from two races due to injury and crashed out of two races himself, scoring zero points in those two races. Vinales, who was nearing retirement, caught up to him. If he hadn't crashed in those two races, it would have been difficult for Vinales to snatch a championship with his points.
Compared to aggressive riders, most factories preferred conservative riders because they were cheaper and less troublesome. No one wanted to experience the feeling of finishing first and then suddenly falling off, unless it was a rider with an extremely genius style, like the "King of the Horse" back then. Despite multiple retirements in a year, he could still stand on the throne of world champion, a testament to absolute skill dominance.
