Kagayama, Cardoso fined for Misano 'incidents'.
An on, and then off, track clash between Yukio Kagayama and Jose Luis Cardoso today at Misano has landed them both with a fine of 1000USD.
Crash.net believes the incident occurred when Cardoso, who had run onto the grass, returned to the track in front of Kagayama who was on a fast lap.
To show his displeasure, the Suzuki rider shook his foot at Cardoso, who then decided to copy the action in return - but managed to make contact with Yuki's fairing.

Very unhappy at Cardoso 'kicking' his bike, Yukio then went to Cardoso's DFXtreme Yamaha garage to express his displeasure. There is then believed to have been some pushing and shoving between the pair before mechanics intervened.
Officially, Kagayama was fined for "showing unfair behaviour towards rider nr. 30 J. Cardoso" while the Spaniard was punished for "an unfair attack against the bike of rider nr. 71 Y. Kagayama."
Kagayama qualified a provisional seventh today with Cardoso 17th.
