It's that "Crit Mojo" thing. Our Tuesday night Underground Crit is helping me a lot with all those factors: close quarters, cornering lines, knowing when you can keep pedaling, hiding, moving up, avoiding gaps. Being in a field that includes the P-1-2 guys is a real help, even though I'm usually off somewhere hacking my lungs up afterwards. But, as a result, the difference in my cornering this season is profound. I used to have a big tendency to brake before a corner - now I'm usually just diving in, pushing, and looking for room to move up. Closing gaps after corners is great way to use yourself up.
