250cc – Marco Simoncelli comments on the Misano debacle

Marco Simoncelli's Misano race was unfortunately characterized by a fall, a fall that takes him even further away from the top of the world championship standings. The Gilera rider and future Team Gresini rider in MotoGP crashed after having a traction control problem and now the gap in the standings has risen to 40 points from leader Hiroshi Aoyama and 27 points from Alvaro Bautista, second in the championship . A debacle for Simoncelli who at this point with 4 races remaining can only hope. He has the microphone.

“I had a problem on the fourth lap, the bike no longer worked because I think there was a problem with the traction control, which cut in the wrong places and didn't make it go. Afterwards I tried to exclude it and my Gilera was better, except that it reacted a little differently from the days we tried, because I clearly didn't have traction control. I was honestly struggling to keep up with Mattia, but I wasn't at the limit, I felt like I could do well. At that point, at Sunset, it started a little behind me, it seemed like something I could manage to control, but instead I was probably too wide on the curb and the second pump that the bike gave me caused my wheel to fall off and it started and I fell. I'm sorry because it was a good day to score some big points and unfortunately it went badly. Now there are four races left, we'll see what happens."
