CB,
I won't take Naka's words as gospel..until he releases the telemetry data that he gave MotoVD...
That said, remember these are stonking big bloody carbons. One finger braking from 300kph. A little tap on your glove is going to have some effect.
Something to think about....
I do think Rossi kicked out. i am far less sure that he aimed it.
Sure, what happened moment by moment when the contact which Rossi caused occurred is not necessarily volitional.
