(massive climb down from Splashdown!). All I can think is that the camera lens foreshortens the whole aspect of the photo, since at that point I would expect to be virtually scraping the fence with my shoulder. You don't obviously, (always think of Alex George going through Ginger Hall), but that was the feeling. This rider MUST be online according to those marks you refer to, but my first impression was that he could have been further in.
It would be interesting to see a top notcher at exactly the same spot, but I feel that I will have to concede this one.

Thanks Splashdown.

Actually I only noticed the tyre marks afterwards which made me wonder, that's all. I didn't have a feeling at all for him being on or off line particularly, but when someone who has ridden more laps than many and knows the course better than most makes such an observation it's always good to ask why for knowledge's sake. In the same vein I love Milky's videos giving his version of the line to take.
