Disagree...IMO, Gibernau opened too much the door and Valentino tried to take advantage of it. Certainly, it was not a clean action but watching the video again and again, I think that Gibernau realised that he had commited an error and didn't want to change his line when Valentino was already in advantage. If Gibernau had slightly opened his trajectory, they probably wouldn't have touched each other and thanks to the Honda's acceleration would have had the chance to win. As dani has said, just a race incident, nothing more...
