^My mistake, either I read an article that called it wrong or I rememberred it wrong. Either is completely plausible this week.

Well one of the most basic things they go over with you in prov nov school is not to slow on the racing line. Sure Depuniet might have been waiting for a tow but regardless if it was P1, 2 Q, or simply warm up, you do that off line. And I think if he spent less time looking back wards and more time working on his set up and pace he might fair better.

That said punching someone cause you dont get your way is dumb and immature.

Speed.com has an AWESOME 5+ minute recap vid, and at about 2:32 it shows Pedrosa clearly out in front of Simoncelli going into the corner, when Simoncelli cuts into Dani's line, forcing Pedro down...The announcers go into detail about how it's Simo's fault...

Bull.... Dani got in the corner at too deep of an angle and stood it up. You dont enter a corner at that angle without racing somebody thats on the outside of you. I think he saw Sic outbraking him on the outside, he knew he couldnt make the corner at that angle with someone on the outside, and stood it up. He would have run off, but planted it into Sics wheel. This is racing, not fucking motorcycle dancing. Besides, Sic was faster at the time.

From what I've read, that's been a pretty big issue during qualifying. People ride slow along the race line, waiting for someone to come by they can latch onto for a tow.

Crutchlow has some good commentary in the Moto 2 race about the problem.
