There are a number of schools of thought when it comes to attacking the track. Among the most popular is the idea that you should always be pushing the limits if you want to improve and that sometimes, that means you'll crash a lot until you find out how far is too far.
We've seen plenty of professional racers like this over the years. There's a reason that Cal Crutchlow had the nickname "Crashlow" in certain circles. But another meaningful theory is that of consistency. And if you have a rider who not only has a track record of finishing races, but who also tends to make significant headway climbing up through the pack no matter where they qualify, you're going to want to look at having them join your team.
