Made a concious effort to stand it up sooner coming out of corners in the next session and never had the problem again.

It was v warm and dry and the tyres were too hot to touch for more than a few seconds at the end of a session and was running 30psi.

Riding round the problem or good advice?
Worked for me

I go along with what OY say about getting on the power while still leant over. Looking at your avitar Spinoli, seem to confirm this. I also think that maybe you should consider super corsas or similar type of tyre change.
