I mean, I think it's logical to be concerned about corners when it's a race, it's flat, it's fixed gear, and it's no brakes. Not exactly the same as a cross race.

Nobody is saying it isn't possible. Clearly it is. It's done in Kansas and it's done in the UK and elsewhere. I just haven't read a good explanation of how they corner at high speeds on a flat track.

There's a reason velodromes have banking.
