    Looks like he over shot his apex going in to 3rd, tried to still carry the speed and over corrected too much to get his line back into 4th (chopped the throttle too much and lost the front?). And now that I remember, some novice pitted next to me that weekend had that exact same crash in that corner. If you screw up that entry then it will drag all the way through those three turns.

    It was interesting to watch how much straight line speed he got going out of 5 with that wide entry angle, but now I can see it's not the fastest way through those three corners.

    I would start with body position. There was A LOT of lean angle involved.

    It seemed to me that they were expecting you to drift out more in that spot like you did in pretty much every turn prior. Having said that on the great side you looked smooth and predictable and when they came by it didn't seem to affect you. Both of those will serve you well in the future.

    Yes, it was easier to see in person than on the gopro wide angle. On exit instead of just using the throttle to finish turning the bike, we would also counter steer the bar. Trying to hold it tight to set up for the next corner. Causing him to push the front
