Drew that is the one I cropped to remove the expletive!

Look at the incident again.........

If it wasn't for what we all know was at stake, was it really a crazy move by the Spaniard otherwise?

If he was wrong to try that move, are Honda not as much if not more to blame? You have to be insane not to try and protect your championship leader with only 2 races to go?

Or does it all go back to Honda's mentality of the bike being more important to them than any individual rider? They have the constructors championship in the bag and perhaps the aspirations of their riders to be champion matters far less than it should to HRC?

How can you feel sorry for someone wearing a stupid pair of sunglasses, inside?

Well, we all can see that it wasn't done intentionally. The bike was unsettled when he hit the bump

That bump was spoken about all weekend during practice on friday and during qualifying on saturday (Julian Ryder, Randy Mamola et al)...but was not mentioned at all during or after the incident...
So it just seems like an unfortunate racing incident...unfortunate that it involved the two Repsol bikes
