E.g. the fellow that applied front brake as soon as he saw the cop; problem: He was leaned way over so he pulled a Marquez.
Others were doing OK until they suffered from target fixation - something I myself have a problem with. sigh.
One guy had great form, looking ahead, leaned over, then properly low sided. I suspect it was a decreasing radius corner that bit them as I couldn't really see what was causing the problem since most entered the corner just fine. Which means they displayed poor judgement in "racing" a road they did not know.
Most seem to be trying to accelerate out of the curve too soon and losing the back end. Or, they drag a peg and flinch, going upright and heading for the dirt. Not the kind of riding I will attempt. I likes my bike too much to risk it... not to mention my hide :-)
