I've seen it, at pretty much all the angles. Watch the FP lines MM93 takes through the chicane and they are very similar. He would have made the corner, but only if VR46 backed off his line. It was, from the beginning, planned to be a hard block pass. Rossi simply played the situation to his benefit, like has been said ...... experience and race craft. Bradley Smith summed it up when he said Rossi knew that once there was contact, he had a free pass.
