Yeah! WSBK is crazy stuff, but MotoGP bikes have another 50hp and weight a little less, and they still race in the rain sometimes!

Riding a literbike in the rain is like flying a jet at low altitude - you prepare yourself mentally, do everything you know you're supposed to, and it's not until you crash or look back on it at the end of the ride/race that you realize how close you are to the edge. I did a morning endurance race at VIR (lasts over an hour) and since it was raining when we started, I used my Michelin rain slicks (they look kinda like dirt bike knobbies, but in a race profile) and was doing fine until the sun came out, and all the guys who started on DOT slicks pulled away... was weird for sure, but not "deadly scary" like you might think.

That being said, those guys are pros, and race rain tires are fantastic - you can still corner almost as fast, and accelerate fast enough to do power-up wheelies, you just can't brake very hard with either wheel... that's why that guy was sliding his rear end everywhere.
