are you under the impression the flag guy in the towers actually direct riders? they really don’t do anything but observe and wave flags only when shit happens. some towers do make great reference points though. for t1 at thill, the 1st corner tower is a great reference point since you can’t see anything at ground level. The tower at t9 on the other hand won’t help you determine anything about the exit though… unless you want to exit way shallow and run off on the kink on the left to t10. people who use the tower for t5 end up in the dirt on the inside of t5a since that turn is like laguna’s cork screw, sharp left and a quick right downhill. the t11 tower, while a great reference point for the exit, doesn’t help you on the entrance. The optimum turn in point for t10 is right before the top of the crest. You have to start turning in before you can see the curbing and the apex. Anything later than that, you’re either gonna have to slow down a lot to hit the apex or you’re gonna go wide on the apex and wide on exit which is a crappy short dirt ride. If you use the t10 tower on the left for a turn in point, you’re turning in too early and are gonna run off on the inside of the turn or hit the curbing. At race pace, race track blind corners are every bit as challenging as rolling around a mountain…
