Mark Sadler

French designer that lives in Italy was the only rational designer we have met on this trip. He is passionate about saving motorcyclists from injuries and lives. He learns from the past failures of the racers and carefully applies them to the wears. He studies how the racers move and interact with the motorcycle, the road and the physics around them. For instance, he has added a protective knee pad made of a special material that can withstand friction and protect the racers’ knees when they speed on the curves. He says that it becomes their “third wheel” when they turn around the corners.
