Yes. Being fast around the track is all about one thing, being smooth. Being a third of the weight of the motorcycle also means that you have an enormous effect on the vehicle dynamics and stability (or lack thereof).

The best way to learn about it is to do some track days in the rain. I’ve got a few hundred wet miles in on the track now and it definately teaches you to be smooth. You can’t get away with anything with next to no traction.

You need to have a good understanding of how to use body position, braking, and throttle to get the suspension where it is happiest. Nothing worse than chopping the throttle in a corner as I’m sure you can imagine.
