Ok, rossi's knee activates MM front brake lever. Nothing to do with being run out wide but because Marc accelerated & continued to lean on him
I think that's the season over now. I'm a massive fan but that over head shot does not look good at all.
I think that move was no different to the moves that have been pulled on JLo and Gibernau in last corners. Dirty racing but they let those go.
If they don't heavily penalise Rossi the race has no credibility at all, I think he should be D'Qed. Rubbings racing but deliberately taking someone out is vile.
Don't think anybody should be saying 'deliberately'. He was playing games, Marc wouldn't give in. Accidents happen when you're both playing games on the edge.
As they are saying now, running him wide is fine. Picking a rider up with your knee is also normal if a rider is leaning on you
That view from the side looks more like Rossi was just pushing MM off his bike. I doubt very much Rossi has purposely gone for his brake.
Watch as many replays as you like.. Marc accelerated into the block pass. Just before he falls, you see him surge forward. That's a young man seeing red
I'd have them both in, tell them to behave and call it a racing incident. To give any place or points penalty is was too serious
I think it's like those lanes that merge. You always get the arsehole jam it up the inside. You either give up and fall in behind, or accelerate and press the issue whilst shouting obscenities. If an accident happened where you both touch, then you both were being naughty.
