- You may tuck the front, because you're adding braking force to cornering force. If you go beyond the limits of the traction pie, the tire gives up.
- Countersteer it back up (the instinctive thing to do, and what I did in the NYST video above). That, I think, is most applicable in an emergency situation. At pace, I also stand the bike up buy consciously pushing it away from me/moving my body off more. When you look at rider-facing cams in MotoGP and see the rider appear to move farther off the bike at corner exit, this is what's happening. They're lifting the bike up.
