• Any suggestions for technique on U turns / mini roundabouts?

    I think I'm losing lots of seconds by taking them too slowly.

    Is it just a matter of practice until I find the line between victory and a big slidey crash?

  • Haven’t given it much thought but I guess practice makes perfect. I’ve only ever ridden RABs at full speed while racing, so I’ve probably only done it a handful of times. Find a quiet test RAB and do loads of U turns, even better, a pair of RABs. You’ll be confident finding your line after a dozen goes.

    When we go to Majorca it takes me a couple of days before I find my line decending hairpins.

    Measure the area under the graph, you'll find you're not losing as much as you think.
