I don't think it was an asshole move by Rossi at all. He was entitled to make a go for it. He took the inside line. Gibernau attempted to stay on the racing line and they bumped. It's not really anybody's fault. Rossi trying to pass. Gibernau trying to stay on the race line. Unfortunate that it led to Sete being bumped off the track, but thankfully it didn't matter in the end and he got second anyways.

I don't think anything will come of the situation. I don't think Rossi or Gibernau were in the wrong. It was just one of those things and just happened to occur on the most important corner of the race. There would be no fuss about this had it happened on the 12th lap for example.
