This is a good time to ask "how do tires make the turn"?
In addition to the pic of Rossi managing a turn w/ no front... How do unicycles turn at all?
At this point you ought to pirate/buy/borrow and read Miliken's Race Car Vehicle Dynamics supplemented by good ol Tune to Win.
Lateral tire forces, slip angles, and spooky voodoo tire graphs are the game here.
