Marco Simoncelli death due to accident death at the Sepang Circuit, Malaysia, Sunday (10/23/2011), gave rise to polemics about the security and safety of the rider. However, representatives of the MotoGP riders about safety, Franco Uncini, said that there would be no change in such a matter that could prevent accidents like in Sepang, which claimed the lives of 24-year-old rider.
Simoncelli suffered very serious injuries to the head, neck and chest due to a tragic accident on the second lap. He slipped and, with the bike, "Supersic" slid into the path belongs to Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi so the incidence of death was inevitable. Malaysian Grand Prix races were canceled.
Uncini, who had been in a coma after a similar accident happened in the 1983 Dutch Grand Prix in his career as a rider, said the heartbreaking tragedy that can not be prevented.
"I think we've tried to do the best for safety issues, and we are very confident," said Uncini told RAI radio.
"Unfortunately, we do not have the power to change fate: when it comes, there's nothing we can do. We must be resigned to accept what comes, nothing else."
"Security issues are good there because the circuit perfectly within the bounds of safety, according to our request."
"What happened was an accident like most, but the only problem is that the distance between the motor with each other so close that two other riders came and hit the head and neck Marco. That's what makes it so dramatic accident."
Uncini also give respect to Simoncelli. He said the former world champion 250 cc class is already an important contribution to the MotoGP safety commission.
"Besides being an incredible rider, he is a remarkable character, funny, friendly, and smart too," he said.
"He was also part of the safety commission. When we will meet on Friday, along with Valentino, himself, Loris Capirossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, he was always very smart by always saying things that are very reasonable and important."
"He was very constructive, not destructive, and very professional. He was very concerned for the safety aspect and he was always present at this meeting. The last time last Friday, before the race."
Uncini added that the last series in Valencia, November 6, will be dominated by the memory of Simoncelli. The reason, no way they can forget characters like Simoncelli in no time.
"The race in Valencia will be a time to mourn. Frankly, I can not even imagine what the race at Valencia. It would be painful to go there and spend a weekend there. We'll see."
While Dorna boss, Carmelo Ezpeleta, said that he could barely speak when she found out Simoncelli died. So, when asked by Gazzetta dello Sport, Ezpeleta explained only briefly.
"I saw it on Saturday night at the hotel, he was playing cards and laughing happily. What was left was a few words. You are on the grid, you see the rider, and 10 minutes later you are dead. It's horrible."
