This is a great photo. You'll notice he's not even sitting on the bike. He has his weight to the right side, as the bike is still not fully upright after the last left hand corner and he is as far forward as he can get, to allow more throttle while keeping the front end from getting too high. He's probably in third gear and those bikes pull hard in that gear. Even a stock one pulls hard enough that it's hard to stay on it. Since the last thing a rider needs is a death grip on the bars, most of the forces he is applying to the bike are through his feet. I can't tell you how hard he's working.
These guys are amazing athletes.
