"Going slow to go fast" is an excellent expression. I learned that lesson as a beginning asphalt bike racer. The instructor took me aside within my first hour of being in a free group. He said, "You're going to crash soon if you don't slow down. You're charging the corners and your exit speed sucks. Slow down. You'll go faster."
I did. Everything got smoother. Two years later I had to register as a Pro b/c I finished Top 3 Amateur that season, with three checkered flags.
