Left foot out on left handed turns

Rossi will stick a foot out in either direction. Can't find the interview but from what I remember, its to help with braking and body position going into a turn. From a strategy perspective, it also effectively doubles the width of his bike when he does that and shuts down the inside line. Now he didn't say THAT was why he was doing it, but I'm sure it won't be long until we see kids at the local tracks doing it too
