Takes a bit more stick to distort the sidewall of the front and scrub it to the edge
That would explain why it hadn't blistered on the front right. I was entering the corner with more entry speed than before but just put that down to gradually building up pace.
Agreed these things happen and glad I'm not the only one, just don't want to scratch my bike if I can help it! Might even look into doing a race school or just renting a track bike to improve my skillz.

Takes a bit more stick to distort the sidewall of the front and scrub it to the edge. Were you just beginning to crack open the throttle? Sometimes the weight transfer is enough to wash out a cold front if you're well leant over.
Definitely a conundrum mate, don't worry about it. I've been on my arse many times going 'how did that happen?' :)
The last trackday I did at Rockingham I lobbed it on about the third lap and really couldn't figure out how. After, I found a photographer had pics and despite thinking I was off the brakes, I was still carrying a fistful. Silly me. It's really good practice on track to take your fingers completely off the lever when you're done. Found the just before pic here!
