I was surprised to hear Rossi say this. I am a Rossi fan but I do not believe MM intentionally did that. If you remember the race when it went to the last lap between Rossi and MM Rossi had a 1 second lead on MM at the start of the last lap yet MM was able to close the gap on the last lap. Was MM sandbagging in that race as well? Given the pace the four front runners were running at and the closeness of that pack I do not believe MM was sandbagging. It was just good hard racing.
I assume you're talking about Assen? It was actually only 4 tenths over the line starting the last lap..
