That's a bit of a disappointing wah from Rossi. The wing might have been dodgy but that was all him when he went straight ahead.

That's what it looked like. RH-R drove flawlessly, Rossi made one small mistake that could be blamed on trying to go a teeny weeny bit too fast on older tires. His post-race interview sure had the optics of whining and shifting blame, but that was in the moment. Still though, nice to see such a happy winner as a contrast.

Agreed. Think it was too mistakes, but at the same time, when he pitted vs RHR didn't assist him much at all.
