the video definitely said "the texas tornado then completed his 5 circuit laps in a time that was only 8 seconds behind his BEST, on the same circuit last year on competition tires"

and thats on a monster 250 hp bike.

8 seconds is a massive amount of time when you conside:
1 lap
same rider
same bike

think of the distance he'd cover in that time and that's EVERy lap!

no consider that tyres will do maybe 2-3 gp with that time..street tyres must do thousand of km..slick few hundred with normal use

as copied from a comment i had made about a year ago :P

"I think, gathering from the video, that over the 5 laps he was 8 seconds slower ;x"

Which is correct, it was about 1.6 seconds per lap slower.

There is no way he was ONLY 1.6 sec per lap slower. Pretty sure it was 8seconds per lap - which makes sense.

take into account how long the tire lasts and how expensive the tire is

no it's not, 1,6seconds per lap slower on a street tyre is very good
