Yea the track guru's will probably chime in sooner or later...until then more comments from the peanut gallery:

-You should pick up some of the existing literature on this subject matter. I myself have gone through Nick Ienatsch's Sport Riding Techniques...full of big pictures of riders mid-turn.

-Each pro rider will typically have his or her own variation on the technique. Different strokes for different folks as it were. Some people will drag their knees, other will drag their knees and elbows.

-What is consistent however, is where their eyes are looking and their head position. Any racer worth his/her salt will have his/her head contorted into a position where they're looking through the turn, as far out as possible.

-In terms of the phsyics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle...cycle_dynamics

That oughta keep you busy for a while
