Bull.... Dani got in the corner at too deep of an angle and stood it up. You dont enter a corner at that angle without racing somebody thats on the outside of you. I think he saw Sic outbraking him on the outside, he knew he couldnt make the corner at that angle with someone on the outside, and stood it up. He would have run off, but planted it into Sics wheel. This is racing, not fucking motorcycle dancing. Besides, Sic was faster at the time.

From what I've read, that's been a pretty big issue during qualifying. People ride slow along the race line, waiting for someone to come by they can latch onto for a tow.
Crutchlow has some good commentary in the Moto 2 race about the problem.
