That was Dani Pedrosa coming up from behind and hitting Valentino Rossi. The collision sent Pedrosa flying, but he apparently suffered only fairly minor hand and arm injuries. He said afterward:
"The accident happened when I was riding behind Rossi. I was catching him and he did something unexpected, so I couldn't avoid him," said Pedrosa. "The accident forced me to stop the session earlier than I'd planned, so I will need to have a long talk with my mechanics tomorrow before we go out again. My right hand and arm are certainly tired after all the riding today but the only problem is that the hand is now very painful again."
Said Rossi, "I'm really sorry that Pedrosa fell, and I hope that he is OK." Apparently he is.
