How do people brake/change gear/blipping the throttle when hard on the brakes after a long straight. Say from 6th to 3rd or 2nd for a roundabout/tight corner? I'm curious as I have been doing a lot of riding over the weekend, and this is something I'd like to work on.

Dunno I dont really think about it. I just tend to brake hard and then change down through the gearbox till I've got to the right speed for the corner / roundabout and then hold it on the throttle till I have got to the apex and then back onto the throttle again. You dont need to give it big handful when you blip. Just enough to pick the revs up thats all. If I'm braking really hard I'll grip the tank more with my knees to stop myself sliding forward, that way I dont need to support so much of my upper body on weight with my arms so I can keep them a bit looser which means I can move my arms and wrists about to work the controls a little easier.
What specific element are you struggling with ?
