I don't remember where I posted about lanes, or if I never posted. But imagine each corner as having "lanes". Each rider has a lane. You stay in your lane. The lanes move around based on what other riders do, but in general it's best to stick to your lane and let the squirrels swerve in and out of other riders' lanes. The helmet cam illustrates this pretty well - 2009 Hartford, some of the turns in Somerville, and some of my first cams (2007). What I think is kind of funny (not funny haha, more like funny "never learned how to corner") is that the same rider is the one making weird errors in the turns for many of those clips. He and his teammates don't know as much about tactics and techniques as they do about training. They're strong but not very good.
