Check it out here:
As you can see, Cairoli can't see Febvre at all coming into the turn, when he see's him, he checks up, then he sees a gap to get through the inside so he acclerates again. As he does Febvre puts his arm back, onto the bank on the inside and Cairoli cannot avoid hitting it. Pure racing incident in my opinion, and Febvre should take time to watch this footage before he gets pissy with Cairoli

Cairoli GoPro
The first camera angle is indeed different, with the gopro it shows it is a very bad racing incident, impossible to anticipate that Febvre would put his arm here again.
Hopefully nothing is broken so he can salvage big points today !
That's because I might crash too
The Shop
And you see it very clearly.
"He cannot avoid hitting him", lmfao.
Real dirty.
Edit: I've just seen that you are French. Say no more
RG1 - you are right - it's a valid question whether some of these people looking to claim victim-hood for RB ride bikes, or, have ever ridden in a remotely competitive fashion.
Cairoli's pinning it, in a World Championship Moto, and comes hurtling into a corner, to find three riders playing 'twister' . He did a hell of a job not just slamming into them. He goes hard inside, not slamming into Paulin,, and is already going up onto a severe camber inner bank, as RB puts out his arm. The helmet cam shows clearly that he did not just 'tractor' over RB, but some seem to still think that's the case..
But it appears some people expect Cairoli to stop completely, and wait whilst the other riders get untangled. "After you, No, after you" ever and anon. The way some people are carrying on, you'd think that Cairoli had been way outside, spotted an 'opportunity for destruction'. and had deliberately dived straight over to the inside, to purposely run over Febvre. Seriously, some seem to want to create mountains out of molehills.
It's the sort of 'scandal' that I expect to come from the SX fanboys, not MXGP followers.
Pit Row
I can see why Febvre is pissed as Cairoli didn't exactly slow down for Febvre BUT the speed that it would have happend at it is very hard to act that quickly and avoid a collision. I know for sure I have rode over serval people/ bikes unintentionally but I may have seemed to them as I did it on purpose. I just hope Febvre is not to badly hurt and can beat Cairoli and that Dam 258
Paulin his foot is in the rut, and 1 meter further, Febvre is arm is in the rut.
He's in a position with riders on the ground in front of him. Why he's not braking?
Bad deal.
Well, that might be your view, but it certainly is held or upheld by the vast majority of riders around the world. The amount of times i've seen that sort of incident in races or personally it's not even worth arguing.
