[Ducati] RE: This weekends MotoGP ****SPOILER*****

[Ryan Scott Bardsley]

I don't think Sete hit the brakes intentionally. From the looks of  
it, it seemed like Sete hit Loris's elbow with hit front brake lever  
which instantly locked his front wheel and sent the bike catapulting  
into the air. Even if Sete was panic braking (not in MotoGP) then it  
would have been more gradual. You can actually see a burst of smoke  
from the front tire when they hit. Scary scary scary.

The worst part is the first flip of Pedrosa's bike hitting Melandri  
in the head with the back wheel.

Hope they are all ok.
