Notice how Melandri immediately ran to help Checa and check if he's allright. That's manners, that's sportsmanship.

Somehow I would not expect that to happen in MotoGP...

yeah, that was all pilot error. watch the replay. checa overcooked it attempting what i've dubbed "assen-pass" (ie. slingshoting 'round T15 @ van drenthe). looks good on paper. he was in full "gary rothwell" (ie. nose wheelie).seconds before clouting melandri.
