Good links to the Michelin site from Widget. Concise and to the point.
I'd take a little issue with always using L1 for a descent and never use the clutch. It's a tricky one.
In UK we're inavariably encountering wet/muddy slopes. So the danger of sliding or the back end coming round is greater. (In my linited experience the norm!) Accelerating to get out of this situation might be a tad tricky in Low 1st. So knowing you will be sliding can argue for selecting a higher gear in the first place. If something happens fast then a dip of the clutch can result in a fast correction - But you will be in deep **** if you cannot re-engage. But then, if you can't accelerate out of your slide in L1 then you are going to have to dip the clutch to grab a higher gear anyway..... Another experience call I'm afraid.
