On the one lap that I’m talking about, he exits the corner and ducks to the inside, as he normally does, but then he moves back outside again, then back to the inside, then back to the outside for entering the next turn.
And it is good race craft and totally legal unless Rossi makes the first move or is close enough to pass. Weaving to break the draft is just good racing. Unlike running a competitor off the road or into the marbles which Rossi has done. Rossi's race setup weakness was identified and he was beat fair and square.
