De Puniet said he was slowing up to adjust his brakes....according to the report I watched. He could have caused a serious accident. I thought his actions irresponsible, surely he would have realised there may have been someone travelling at speed behind him. I do not condone Casey's actions afterwards, however.
I think people get the wrong idea about Casey. Unlike a lot of present day competitors he hails from a tiny town in country Australia, the family did it the hard way and IMO he did not have the best of management in training him to deal with issues off the track. He is a 'country boy' and comes from a different class to some of the other riders.
Simoncelli made a bit of an assertive move and maybe Dani could have survived if he hadn't sat up. Anyway that's how I saw it. Ride through penalty a bit tough. I must say that Simoncelli's racing worries me at times.
