PICTURE: Pedrosa on the attack.

Weighing in at just 51kg means Dani Pedrosa has to lean as far as possible from his Repsol Honda to 'lever' it through the high-speed turns, as illustrated by this shot from qualifying at Le Mans last weekend.

Poor Dani, he never gets rid of people talking about his weight
Some great sideways pictures in there though, especially in high resolution.

Leverage is force x distance. Dani ain't got the force, but he's sure got the distance in that picture!

Correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't some countersteering do the same thing? Technically you can lean a bike all the way over and not have to get off your seat. Maybe this is just his style?

You don't have to be worldchampion to be the best!
But he will be I'm sure...

If you watch Dani closely you'll find he leans this way (dropping his shoulder down) out of most corners which allows the bike to stand up so he can put more power down.

Mamola calls it "sitting it up onto the fat part of the tyre" for more traction out of corners. Counter-steering is to get you into the corner, the shot is of Dani powering out of one.
