my view of the incident was that capirossi ran wide, looked over his shoulder to see how far back Vale was, before closing the door in order to stop the two colliding. however Rossi was able to stick it down the inside of him, simple as. no conspiracy theories needed.
quite right , after reading this thread i looked at the race again and could not see any " letting him through " moves
imo he ran wide and then looked back and nearly collided with vale and stuck out his arm to either apologise or replace a tear off.
He re took the position laps later and by doing that i cant see where the conspiracy is.
He chose the wrong tyre compond after choosing the same tyre he ran with last year and thats it.
I am sure he still wanted to finish on the podium.
and still did ducati ok as he took valuable points of both Fiat and yamaha , never mind vale
