What is slipstreaming in MotoGP?
Slipstreaming in MotoGP is a clever tactic used by riders to gain an advantage during a race. Essentially, it involves one rider closely following another to reduce wind resistance and increase speed. The leading rider creates a 'slipstream' or aerodynamic wake, the trailing rider slips into this stream to gain a boost. However, it requires skills and perfect timing to execute it without causing a collision. It's like a strategic chess move on a high-speed motorcycle.
