Suspension setup can help in keeping the tire in contact with the road, but only ir the tire is at it's operating temp and proper pressure.
its been a while, but i specifically remember dropping the pressure down to about 25psi. the bike was fine at 60-65, i could string them together all day, but when i really began to push is when they started to give, i dont think it was a pressure issue personally, but im not saying i know everything about racing a bike either so it could have been, but i thought i took the proper measures and it was just the fact im lacing 4 right hand long turns together at 80-90mph consecutively with maybe 2-3 seconds of cooldown at the top of the overpass.
