I can't say for sure if it was the tyres or the wet road (or the
combination of both), since it was the first time I rode my RS in the rain.
But it wasn't a pleasant sensation to feel the front tyre slip away, even
without touching the brakes at all.
Later the same day, going back to Corte, the same road was dry and I had no
problem.
And yes, the white lines were very very slippery even when dry.
