Why trying to "get a knee down" on the street is a bad idea.

I agree with those who said that the front tucks at some point.

Ignoring the knee cam, it I would bet he grabbed a handful of brake when he started to drift wide, locked/pushed the front, and accidentally recovered with his knee, but then over-corrected and went across the center line avoiding the guard rail.

I don't mind the notion of hanging way the hell off to drag a knee on the street. Frankly, that's how I avoided cold-tire crashes on Q2's... I purposely hung off like crazy for the first lap and knew I better not do much more than scuff my knee, or I was tempting fate. I would hang off a lot less once the tires were warm and the pace picked up.
