SPOT ON!
Well, 2a is finalizing your entry speed and 4a is a smooth continuous roll throughout the remainder of the turn.
What do they have to do with each other?
A common issue riders have is to overbrake for a corner or become complacent with their current comfort level. An easy fix for that rider of a bigger bike is to make it up with the throttle midcorner and on exit. You noticed that Ken doesn't do that and I am not saying you overbrake either. It's just an easy example to show relevance.
So how aggressive does his throttle roll NEED to be? If you get your entry speed perfect how aggressive with the throttle do you NEED to be?
