Just watched the race in full. Sweet jeebus those were some intense laps before the crash. I am reminded of Zenidine Zidane (perhaps the greatest of soccer names) in the WC Final in 06. A high stakes game with someone taunting and provoking another until they snap.
Rules are rules, but I think it's unrealistic to poke and prod and demand no reaction.
I'm not the biggest Rossi fanboy but I actually like it when riders, athletes, PEOPLE struggle with the immense pressure they're under, self inflicted or external. Makes their achievements a lot more understandable and gives a reference point to what exactly they were able to accomplish.
