Thx Dean.  Do you know anything about the rider?  The camera must have slipped a little.  Kept getting a view of the butt of the tank.
From the Deep Deep South out in left field.  There are no stupid questions.  There are however stupid people asking questions.  🤣, this includes me.  😉 Hawaii.

With a 32L tank, he doesn't have to be the fastest...just be near the front when the others have to pit for fuel...

Must be a six footer+ plus rider.  The windscreen is tall.

He posts under FrancoisNTX over on GT, lives in Austin, and has some good ride reports about taking his Stelvio offroad.  The school he's riding with, RideSmart, does a good job marking the line - you can see orange Xs on most curves.  Level 2 that he's riding in has a wide range of abilities:  newbs just up from Level 1 Novice and experienced riders getting ready to move up to Level 3 Advanced.  He's holding his own under braking and in the turns.  The camera is a chest mount and he's tucking behind the screen on the straights.  Stock screen in the low position;  I took mine off on the track for better airflow.
