    Why do most motogp riders wear their leathers on the outside of their boots??

    So they dont fill with water when it rains, or gravel following a kitty litter excursion. Probably. Or 'fashion'.

    Most are Dainese are they not ?
    Their leathers are designed to go over the boots in most of the new designs.
    See Guy Martin's as well.

    Never noticed but prob more aerodynamic

    Or so less chance of catching on sticky out bits when moving about the bike
