Having read Pedrosa's comments that Teo posted, I gotta say I belive him. I mean, what I've drawn up from the facts, it was a stupid, hot headed, clumsy, immature move. Fair enough, but that's not the Dani Pedrosa I know. The guy who won 3 world championships back to back, he's too smart to do somthing like that. He knew the stakes, he knew it was practcally impossible to pull the move off, so why would he do it? I don't think he meant to at all, I might be wrong, but that evidence, to me, combined with Dani's comments, points to a .... up. Not a mistake trying to pass Hayden, a mistake before that that saw him carry too much speed into the corner and take Hayden out.
I really feel gutted for Hayden, I don't know if he'll ever get a chance like this again. But I think it was like Gibbers at Catalunya. It was a personal mistake that just snowballed. It would have happened anyway, Dani would have gone down, but, thanks to the evil luck thats been plauging riders in MotoGP all year, Hayden was in the way, so he went down too. One things for sure, it ain't a pretty situation.
Oh yeah, good work by Elias, too. Beating Rossi like that puts him in a very exclusive club, even if he never does it again.
