It comes down to applying the brakes with accuracy, turning into the corner with precision and applying the throttle with absolute finesse. It requires that the rider be 100 percent concentrated and that the road be in near perfect condition. No rider is faultless though, and no road is seamless. That said, it’s not uncommon to make a mistake on occasion and enter a corner too hot, or lean in only to find a heap of gravel or stream of water directly in your path. How you react to the situation is instrumental and could be the difference between continuing on your ride unscathed or having to pull over to allow your heart rate come back down to normal.
