Shit, that first one is where I've gone down twice (over the space of about 3 years), and where I saw the other guy had hit the deck... both times for me were as if you're heading in the direction of the pic and taking the left.
Sounds like an excuse, but there must be a really really really smooth patch of tarmac there or something. Although the bend encourages you to take it fast, the second time I did it I wasn't going all that quick and it wasn't icy.
I've now blacklisted that bend. If I'm gonna go round it, I'll feckin get off the bike and walk around!
