Ok everybody, I wiggled my way into the Honda tent and took some shots of the bike's inner workings.
So, here it is. The big secret is out. It is a MIDGET!!!
A tiny little strong dude sitting in that cage pedaling his little heart out.
The two crank arms are attatched to tiny whips that flog the tiny guy and make him pedal faster. The faster he pedals, the quicker he gets to the bottom. and that means that he gets flogged less.
That's why Minnaar is so damn fast.
The reason they are always taking it apart in that tent is to give him food and caffeine.
Oh and they replace the midget after every race, because, let's face it, that would really take a toll on you.
