Corner with stone chippings on it. What to do?

The issue with any form of braking or slowing down in a corner is that the weight gets transferred forward on to the front wheel which forces it to run wide - Twist of the Wrist II illustrated this quite well and helped me to understand what the forces on the wheels were actually doing.

I'm not saying you are wrong in what you are saying, just trying to clear up that little point a bit as its something that really opened my eyes when I first watched TotW last year Smile Your post was in fact very helpful and informative, kudos
