On a couple of the onboard clips it"s really obvious what was going on.

I think the carrot dangling in front of Marquez was enlarged by being provoked himself on Thursday, nothing to help speed you up more than being called out!!
The yams have always carried more corner speed than Hondas for the past 3 years.

Rossi lost his rag and he shouldn't have been so obvious, but on the other hand Marquez jolly well deserved it!

No one that has raced at motogp level can claim innocence when it comes to harsh overtakes, Rossi has dished out plenty, even leading upto the final incident. It happens all the time its just this time Rossi let it get to him and put himself in a position to get penalised. Maybe Marquez deserved it I don't know but you can't go around saying "Poor old Rossi", "Marquez ruined everything" (Not that you did say that, but some are
)
Rossi made his own mind up to take action on track to stop racing and "muck about" the consequences that have occurred may well be undeserved but he could've avoided it. simples.
