So, did Stoner come apart like a cheap watch?

He certainly proved he isn't invincible. I think he may have been
done wrong by Nakano, but Stoner wasn't within Nakano's visual range
to be fair.

Not so sure about that. He'd come up next to Nakano on the inside, but
then it seemed he might have thought he wasn't going to be able to get
it stopped in time. So when he hit the brakes he didn't seem to bend in
at all, and Nakano continued into the corner, trying to get Vermeulen
(and it appears he could), which put him right in front of Stoner. Had
Stoner continued his inside move he might have stopped Nakano from
making his move, and had he backed off sooner or harder, he wouldn't
have gone into the rear end of Nakano (which in turn caused him to go a
bit wide). It may be that he choked a bit, thinking about how easy it's
been to lose that front. I just get the impression he wasn't committed
to that pass when it counted.

Not really, he made a great start was 3rd for a while then slipped
back to 5th, then he outbraked himself and ran into the gravel but
made a good come back but tried to get past Nakano and Dovisioso a bit
too hastily and ran off track again, not a great points result but the
situation is not that different from this time last year.

Every time a camera was pointed at him in the garage, he looked like a
sulky kid. It'll be interesting to see how he copes with being
beaten.
