If, as a competitor, you cannot get into a clean rhythm around the course, you end up being partially, or perpetually, on the back foot so to speak. You're trying to catch back up with the circuit, or are just trying to react to the odd turns it's throwing at you. When this is happening, you're not able to concentrate on going after the opponent who is ahead or you, or keep a weather eye to hold back the adversary coming up from behind.

I have to say the track is the same for everyone, everyone has to solve the odd turns their little own ways, that's the nature of competition. Having said that I agree the track is better when it flows, but some oddness needs to be introduced to break up the boredom.
