| I don't think that's what Jon means Eric. I know I could get round the corners quicker with better body position - that doesn't necessarily mean knee down but that may come as a by-product.
I'm not sure I can make many improvements on the brakes - I was super hard and could overtake pretty much everyone (except Ali who got me) on the brakes. Perhaps with more progressive braking? Don't know, need to work more on that perhaps.
I also know that I could have gone harder through the left hander and right hander between the hairpin at the start finish straight and up the mountain. I made a few mistakes there and backed off a little bit to make sure I could get it right. I didn't think anyone would be able to overtake me there and as I had good speed into hall bends I didn't think it would translate into a pass there. So, I could make time there as well. Also the hairpin itself, I couldn't get a decent line through there and ended up going in tight and hard on the brakes all the time, turning it and trying to get it straight back up so I could get decent drive out.
I think changing my gearing probably would have made the biggest difference - I was running the standard road gearing (I think - I didn't even check). But I wanted to concentrate on me more, not the bike. The bike is very good, I just needed to try and catch up to it.  |
