I'm not skilled enough to try trail braking so can confidently say I wasn't on the brakes, changing down alone often felt like enough engine braking. I was running what Pirelli apparently recommend for the Diablo Rosso II on track...31 psi front and 26 psi rear.
@pdlouche from looking at the sidewall this is what it suggests to me. I've been dragging knees after just 2 laps when riding that track in the past so seems weird.

It's almost never pure lean that makes you lose the front, it's brakes, bumps or transitions on/off the throttle. You can go knee down basically straight away on most good street / track tyres but you need to be very careful carrying the front brake. By the third lap, everything should be up to temp for sure.
What sort of tyre pressures were you running?
