I think that Lorenzo had brain fade in the heat of the moment as he couldn't believe that Marquez had beaten him into the first corner and asked for too much from his bike whilst still at a fair lean angle.
Like him or loath him Marquez ran a clean race and was a deserving winner !
Jorge would beg to differ, Marquez caused the crash according to him:

He actually contradicts himself quite neatly in the article, must be all the pain killers!

“Because we were very wide and already the other riders were coming, if I didn't want to lose five or six positions, I had to open the throttle." Lorenzo

Pretty much covers it all.

Was a great race between Dovi and Marquez though.

P.S. Someone on the commentary said there were 165 passes at the Dutch GP.
