Ouch, gotta hurt.
Also knowledge of what kind of tarmac your dealing with helps too in taking your corners. Here in Spain they can go from having grip to nearly having none at all. So one moment you're doing your thing in the corners going flat and then the next corner it's like ''Hey rear tire...get back in line!''
