Not only that, why would the camera be on a turn? Seems silly to me.

I would think that somebody from the FIM would be calling these two guys for a test...

Also, based on my experiences, that curve and his lean angle look a little off for 157 miles an hour.

It's England. They have cameras everywhere. Riders like to accelerate into and through a curve, so the cops just picked the highest camera reading.

I think you're right. The speed radar works by detecting how fast something is moving away or toward it. A vehicle travelling through a turn (i.e. moving laterally with respect to the radar) would show a lower speed to the radar its than actual speed.
