This. Iannone says the telemetry backs up his assertion that he braked in the same place at the same speed as on other laps and that the collision occurred because Lorenzo had slowed.
It has been suggested that he should have changed line and passed Lorenzo around the outside. I don't know who made the suggestion, but it does read like one that would be a lot easier made from an armchair than the seat of a GP16.

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
...meanwhile up at the pointy end the one who is undoubtedly amongst those who are the GOAT riders, shows yet again that he is still there...and MM is just unbelievable, and has shown his maturity right the way through, a bad weekend for motorcycle racing...
I don't know. From the footage Iannone was clearly braking at maximum (rear wheel way up in the air) and hanging on tight, hence ran straight into Lorenzo's line. But come on, Lorenzo was like an Auckland Asian woman doing 70kph on the highway!
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
it seems they have improved the Honda somewhat.Still hard too ride but if they improve some more then MM could be hard to beat from here.I am gonna see if i can find the video clip that he crahed but didnt fall off,right foot of the peg ,front sliding,all the weight on knee and elbow,sometimein the last few laps
The fact that MM has a heap of shit to ride, yet has learnt that bringing it home for points is better than eating kitty litter, should worry the haters. Many championships will follow.
Looked to me like his elbow hit the ripple strip a bit which added a bit of counter steer whilst leant over. Great save!
Dani was looking good, shame young Maverick didn't hang on to him and try n get to Rossi and Marquez. As it was he certainly had a schooling from DP and JL on how not to make a pass stick. Great stuff. He's going to be a weapon next year on the Yam. Miller actually performed quite well this round imo, remains to be seen if he can continue to improve as the bike does.
The other Marquez is hardly setting the world on fire in moto2 on a great bike so lets not be too harsh on the lad.

Yeah I agree, maverick will be a serious title contender on the Yamaha next year. He's got talent that's for sure
Just watched - it, not what would have expected from Q2, but the old GOAT and his team seem to be able to crank a set up out on Sunday warm up, even now JB has gone.
AI and JL.....Lorenzo's front tyre I think was what his problem was and causing him to slip down the field. I don;t doubt that AI was braking where and how he normally did, it's just that you sort of need to be able to work around obstacles in the way! I think he got sucked in and then late on could work out what was gonna happen and that's when he grabbed a bigger hand full and stood it on it's nose.
Interesting the old boy has softened with MM relationship. Shaking hands in Parc Ferme ans spoken words elsewhere.
JL: I'm surprised I haven't heard that it was all a joint VR/AI conspiracy that AI took him out.....
Post race press conference saw a little more thaw between MM and VR. I think also VR might been seen at the safety commission meetings more often. He did comment about the Turn 9 (or 10?) infield straight run and that it is quite tight.
