How I do it is use my body for the majority of steering, then use countersteering to make minor adjustments to my line.

Counter steering induces lean. Lean makes you corner. Centre of gravity alters lean once it has been created, which changes your line.

You can induce lean by yanking your whole body to the side but the amount that you induce will be small when compared to what you get from counter steering and the faster you go, the less lean you can get that way because of gyroscopic stabilization.

Trust me here; it isn't your body that's making the major inputs.

I think in an interview Valentino said it helps prepare for the corner and didn't turn the bike any faster.

I think he has gas and is just helping the fart out faster

I've seen Bayliss do this the last couple years. The first couple times I thought maybe he did it to pysch the person out behind him to thrown them off their game a little and allow him to get a better lead.

Never saw Rossi do it, but I don't watch MotoGP very much, mainly WSBK.
