I was just watching Simon talking about it here:
According to him Enea went wide because he looked to see if Martin was ok. And you can clearly see in the video he turned his head. Otherwise he likely would have remained on track.
Seems legit to me.

hmmmmm looked at the video a few more times - bastia was already on the paint when he looked to see how martin was doing.
Simon is a real good guy but i feel he is trying to tactfully defuse?/downplay the event for the greater good. imo

Ok Lads schedule for this weekend if you're watching on 3now
Sorry didn't have time last round getting the bike prepped and ready for NZCMRR Taupo last weekend.
Got quite a cool pic taken so I thought I'd show off and include it at the end seeing as there is only 3 pages of schedule this week.
Not quite MotoGP style but I'm old LMAO
No time for anymore blurb, Enjoy the racing guys.
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

Strayed across to WSBK a week or so back (originally to see how Avalon does in the WCR - pretty good) ...the actual superbikes though yeehah ! pretty good racing so i signed up for the last rounds. The bikes are fairly evenly matched apart from the yamaha and hondas that seem to be destined for mid-pack. This morning's race produced an entertaining battle right to the flag. oh and the commentators are good to listen to as well

caught up with the main race last night on ThreeNow
Martin jsut did his thing - a master class in getting out front and staying there,
Acosta rode a fantastic race - he's great to watch

Iaonne is doing well and so is Petrucci. Along with Bautista(two wins at Aragon) who seems to be regaining his MoJo and Bulega it 1 BMW vs 4 Ducati s although Lowes seems to be able to get the Kawasaki up there for some of the time
Low personal B.M.E.P.
Best of luck with the physio. At least it's only one knee. CAMS guy down here had both done together. Couldn't manage the physio properly so lost a lot of movement. Stopped him racing as he couldn't bend enough for rearsets.

I had both hips done this time last year, got both knees to go some time in the next year or 2. I cant believe how good it feels regardless of the knee pain. Had to stop riding because I couldnt sit on a bike. Need to buy a new one now :P

Just a thought on last weeks race.. MM's bike was on fire, clearly his boot was right in the flame. Rather than dumping it on the side of teh track he continued to ride to the marshalls, and then hold the bike up so they could put the fire out.. I'm not a racer, but I dont think I'd have stayed on that long. You guys who race, does that speak to the character of the guy? I mean, it does to me, I've never seen someone do that, but you guys would know better than me what might be going on in his head at that point.
