I know I will regret this, keep mouth shut and all that...
Intersection, 2nd gear - no problem should have worked.
Rear wheel flicked out - yeah right! What did you do, drop the clutch mid corner and full throttle? No way that tyre lost traction in normal circumstances. There is something missing here (most will say my brain ). Touch of front brake? Oil? too slow? grabbed the clutch and lost drive? Be honest, talk about it with your support people but work it out.
I agree with Drew on the cold tyre thing. Typical blame anything but the rider :BS: even frozen the tyres will get you around an intersection in 2nd (not that the gear directly translates to speed) I know your suspension is wrongly adjusted another good poor rider excuse.
Remember it is the poor tradesman that blames his tools.
