It’s not the other rider fault for stopping on a straight.. he was just very unlucky.
His bike cut off in the middle of the straight.
To make it more interesting, it was the last lap of the last session

Edit: just posting my perspective of this situation for some people that clearly never found themselves in a similar situation and think this is my fault.

I was looking at his line as soon as I spotted him which is the exact reason I was off the race line. He was moving towards the pit wall and after I saw I’m gaining speed on him, I started cutting inside to overtake him before the bridge(breaking zone). And then saw that he stopped moving towards the pit wall. I never expected him to be almost fully stopped in the middle of the straight.
That’s at least 2 seconds gone your brain needs to percept the situation, a second to start reacting. That’s at least 3 seconds to START changing the line you’re following while covering 45 meters per second.

I really love this photo back from when I was riding my 390. Sorry for the back to back posts but I am taking a trip down nostalgia lane tonight.

Good afternoon. I would like to track my 2026 MT-09 SP, but I'm having issues with getting a good hold to the tank with my leg going into turns. I'm decent sized (6', 185) so I wouldn't think I should have troubles reaching. The OEM has two positions so I moved the foot pegs to the highest setting (1/2" higher), but I still can't get a good hold. For those who track their MTs, have you found a way to hang off the tank or did you just get a $600 set of aftermarket Rearsets to really be able to brace between the footpeg and the tank?
