I think its pretty obvious what happened. MM thought he had until the end of lap 10 to pit. He came in at the end of lap 10 as he would not have started lap 11 until he exited pit lane. He did not want to come in at the end of lap 9 because he did not want to pit at the same time as j-lo. He though if he could get some time out of a clear lap he could pit and re-join ahead of lorenzo. A simple ms-understanding of by lap 10 and the end of lap 10.

bummer that the whole team got screwed by this misinformation, or mis-interpretation of information. a simple error on MM's side in the heat of the race would be much less irritating.
anyway, this whole 'race' was a joke, this weekend was very disappointing to follow. was looking forward to PI the whole year and then this.

And thats not forget as pinted out by some in this thread, MM was not the only rider to make that mistake. Even the commentators on BBC were unsure whether it was by lap 10 or buy the end of lap 10. Eurosport were a little more clued up. After all we are all human and make mistakes. I remember KRJR thinking he had won a race, problem was there was still a lap to go hahaha. .... happens as they say.

Just a pity Lorenzo and Pedrosa DNS at Germany. Without that would have made for a very exciting season end..

I don't agree with the simple mistake excuse. HRC is the most funded team in the paddock and they spend millions of dollars to send their team halfway across the world. I don't believe for second that they didn't Interpret the rule correctly. That's Mickey Mouse privateer .........
But I agree for sure this race was a dissapointing joke

So if it wasn't a mistake, what was it ? Surely you're not suggesting it was deliberate. Why would he do that knowing the penalty was disqualification.

Gotta concur with Chopperman here.
So they interpreted the rule correctly, and then told their de facto #1 rider to stay out an extra lap, on unsafe tires, under the risk of disqualification, for...what?

Maybe the HRC bosses told dani and asked him to pass the message along to Marquez. A little bit of Chinese whisper took place along the way hahaha

What I thought at the time, was that the moment Marquez had just prior, where he almost lost it, broke his concentration, and that he was already committed to the corner by the time he realized Lorenzo was going into the pit in. That's not what the official HRC/Marquez statements read though and I suppose I should take them at face value.

Oh, how I wish that was true. MotoGP would officially then transform from a racing series into a Spanish soap opera.

I thought I saw the same thing. Might be my imagination, but that whole extra lap he was on, it looked to me as if he knew he blew it but was hoping to get away with it. Might be reading way too much into MM's body language, though.
