Let us know your top tips for cornering in the comments below

ExProfessional Cyclists Dan Lloyd and Matt Stephens are here to help make cornering something that comes natural to you so that you don't overthink it. Once you become confident it is second nature.

Top tips include
Look where you are going
Lean the bike over into the corner
Drop your outside pedal; have your outside pedal in the 6 o'clock position and apply a little weight to it

When cornering in a group, communication is key signalling tight turns is helpful and offers a warning that the riders around you are slowing down. When braking, it's typically best to apply pressure to both the front and rear brake evenly, ideally before you enter the corner. Leaning your bike into the turn and keeping your body low will increase the available traction in the turn itself.
