I dont really see why such a big deal was made of the bikes driven. The old Duc vrs Jap head being reared again there.

As I saw it, there were two bikes, and one apex. And both of them wanted to be there. Your man on the 250 was going quicker through the corner, thought he could make it, and clipped the Duc on the way passed, who went down on your man's rear wheel.

That is clear.
If he came down on the front wheel (as some were claiming), 250 would have been laid out on the tarmac too.

But regardless of 250 / Duc996, the fact of the matter is, no matter what you are driving, two people do not fit into the same apex.
Guy on the Duc was probably taking it handy, last lap and all that, guy on the 250 was driving the bollix out of it, cause he saw Duc, tried to squeeze through, screwed it up, knocked your man off.

It is really almost completely 250s fault, no matter what he was driving he does have control of what he was doing.
In (slim) defense of the 250, I would say that your man on the Duc was easing up, but holding his lines still, not expecting some guy to try squirming up the inside. Not surprisingly.

As for a "yawning 2 foot gap", that really is rubbish. Its a track day. Not a race. Idiots like that are what keeps people away from tracks. A bike is say 4 foot high, leaned over a two foot gap has them touching. 6 foot, like the rules say, is a reasonable track day gap.
250 clearly broke the rules, also drove like a muppet it seems, and was rightfully blamed.
Shame about the carnage.
