That road is very busy in september.. any tips on what to Do if It WAS oil or car liquid . breaking is Too late or maybe straightening up quicker ? Dont you think that with lower pressure i would have Had more chances to correct It ? Or if **** Hits the Fan nothing We can Do. It definately wasnt visible in advance ...


In any case thank you all and surely am going back to lower pressure - for superstition's sake
If traction is compromised, dust, wet stuff on the ground, some car spewed oil all over the place you want to minimize lean angle.
This can be accomplished by either a different choice of line, going through the corner slower, body positioning. Straightenning up is possible, depending if you have room or not. Just be careful not to target fixate on other side of the road and run off the road. So try to continue looking through the corner. Also during descending try to have your weight on the pedals in a straight line or weighting outside pedal on a turn. Your legs will act as suspension and help to absorb some of the bumps.
