Perhaps what Dorna did was ban Honda from using RD's mind reading facilities in concert with the telemetry etc.
As I recall it was fairly widely reported that Dorna had asked Honda not to release the data at the time. Why they haven't subsequently can only be speculated, but I doubt it is because it reflects badly on MM. I guess to some extent it is in MM's interests to let it go if he has decided to be conciliatory, of which there is some suggestion from his public statements, and maybe even he doesn't want to be in Stoner's situation with VR 's crazy fan base, although unless VR instructs them I doubt that will change.
In all seriousness no race bike data can show anything except contact occurring, and even then showing contact with Rossi's foot is not the same as showing a deliberate kick
Sorry Yamaka, but whatever anyone says , even Mick Doohan, however strange MM's response the responsibility for the contact remains VR's , who has admitted making the non-racing move, looked twice before aiming his bike where he did, and all exegesis of slow motion footage is after the fact; it was a WTF moment at the time in regard to Rossi live, and certainly so for Nick Harris who was the commentator on the coverage I was watching and hardly a known Rossi hater. I also do struggle to recall a similar incident.
I have to say Superbike planet has about the same credibility in regard to GP bike racing as a Murdoch tabloid or Fox and Friends do in regard to politics, although more because he is a sensationalist and doubtful/ lazy in his journalistic practices than because he is biased against Rossi which I have no reason to believe is the case.
