The wife and I both noticed this a few times. For reasons I can't
fathom I saw several of the front runners apparently (I am inherently
unreliable) take their left foot right off the footpeg when about to
enter a RH corner.
?

LH corners, actually. Seems to me Rossi's been doing it for years, but
in today's race I noticed the same thing - at least four or five guys
are doing it now, and I've never seen that many doing it before.

The story goes that the riders are moving their foot from being mostly
towards the
toes on the peg down the straight (after finishing all the shifts) and under
braking
into a turn, it swings forward as they move it to get under the shifter.

Yes, but they're downshifting under braking, so they're tapping up.
