The slightly peculiar thing is when you need to come down from seventh quickly to make an overtake; you instinctively go for sixth or fifth, which still doesn't give you quite enough oomph, yet dropping to fourth feels like a big leap, both across two planes of the gate and in terms of the revs you need to match road speed.
