This is a really useful video with plenty of tips. It is easy to take our braking for granted.

Mainly common sense but it has highlighted to me that I should practice braking on the drops to become more comfortable with it. I descend on the drops but if much braking is likely to be required I tend to favour the hoods because I have more confidence there.

Found this rather interesting and as Steve said it does highlight things that I'm sure we all could improve.
