Actually, her ET and speeds confirm that she is having difficulty handling the bike and driving it in a straight line. Seems like she has to get off the throttle in the majority of her passes because she is either headed towards the center line or wall.

Angelle had a lot of problems with the bike as far back as Feb testing, I remember her blowing past me twice while I was shooting under the bridge. The word from my MC guys was "It's a lot of bike for her."
While I won't necessarily disagree with what you're saying, I will say that I'm surprised that a multi-time world champion rider is having this much trouble acclimating herself to this bike, if that's what's going on. Salinas has really appeared to struggle getting a handle on riding hers, but I would expect that in her case to some degree. Just odd to see Angelle struggle like she has.
As a sportsman with a big tire bike if the bike didn't go straight I could correct it by adjusting the rear wheel slightly in the direction of where the bike is pulling to. It worked for me. With these high HP bikes I don't know if the formula is the same. I have not ridden a wheelie bar in 25 years. Not trying to sound like a know all.
