I'm pretty sure this has been covered as to why they're so good at that, it's razors width between life and death and they still somehow get it right and defy death. Literal meaning of "in the zone" the world slows down and somehow, they just do what they do. Madness isn't it

When you are in the zone is almost primal. You pretty well disconnect from reality. My best races I don’t remember. I completely shut my conscious brain off and ride. There’s little glimpses that come to me but that’s it. My fellow racers soon learned that asking me what I thought about the track was useless. I raced off-road and we didn’t get to practice the course. The ones we did pre ride I was terrible on.

He talks about what he's thinking and how he feels at the moment, what was his possible position at the race, with all the contenders data he got at the moment. Where and how to take care of the engine, how to ride the bike. Even tell us where he's feeling under control and where he's just a passenger of the bike. Just thank you man!

Well, this is the deadliest race event in the world. Lots of guys can't go that fast. The question is not if anyone will die in any given year, but how many. Since 1946, there have been two years with no deaths on that course. The Isle of Man TT race had 4 dead in 2016, three dead in 2017, and one dead in 2018 and 2019. Over several days, but still.

Other racers in general dont present interesting programmes or take part in other interesting engineering events.
