There is no "Centrifugal Force" with respect to a motorcycle cornering on a racetrack. It is an apparent (i.e fictitious) force. This apparent "force" is not a force at all. Why would an education publication print something like this at all? It is simply perpetuating a science misconception that physics teachers everywhere are trying to undo!
