Hey Geo, if the gravel was still there Jlo would have been in it... stupid.
I was wrong about Marquez losing the front. Looked more like the rear twitching as he's braking too hard.
Stand by my judgement, though. No penalty needed. Leave the door that wide open, and someone is coming through, especially someone as young, dumb and full of cum as Marquez. As Bradley Smith said, Lorenzo isn't used to having to race. He is used to being so much faster than the rest that he'd get by them quickly and piss off. Marquez isn't going to do that. "In Moto2, we went for gaps a lot smaller than that," said Smith.
Marquez was a long way past Lorenzo at the turn in point. Lorenzo could easily have beaten him by the simple expedient of braking a little harder, then turning in after Marquez had overshot. But he didn't really conceive of the idea that anyone would have the temerity to attempt to stuff it up the inside. He found out the hard way that Marquez is no respecter of authority.
I for one welcome our new alien overlord.
Oh, and Rossi is now best of the rest. Crutchlow is keen to point out that he was matching Rossi's pace, once he had stopped being held up by Bautista. And he's probably right.

One cannot blame Marquez in the circumstances. Last corner, door wide open, he dived for it.
Lorenzo should have either kept the door closed, or allowed Marquez to pass (and go wide), to run a tighter line on exit.
He was honest enough to admit his mistake. He didn't want to shake hands with Marc, but he didn't complain either.

This 100%
Now, at least Jorge knows where he stands and as a result I think we will see a much more exciting championship. Of course, unless Jorge starts to get some serious support from his largely absent teammate it's going to be one Yamaha against two Hondas every race.

LOL! - you sound exactly like me when I got into a heated flame war with.... .... if I can remember the guy's name - when I first came around Powerslide. I agree with others that his weebly-wobbly antics earlier in the race were of more concern. Jorge left an opening and the kid took it. The move may not had a lot of finesse - but I thought it was legit.

cliché guevara
Jorge left a lot more room than Sete did who was already turning in, and has been pointed out in previous discussions Rossi then proceeded to deliberately force Sete right across the track.
I still think you will find most would prefer to have this sort of close racing with Rossi rather than Marquez though; Rossi is one of the ;safest riders there has ever been which Marquez isn't.
Rather worse than Stoner's pass on Bautista last year too, although Marquez gets no deduction of marks for hypocrisy.

How can someone who loves stoner and haga be so wrong
Watch the impact. Worse than what happened to sete.
Small miracle jorge didn't crash
