MotoGP: Bautista “Simoncelli? Nothing new!"

The Pedrosa-Simoncelli contact which occurred during the Le Mans race, a contact which led to the fall of the Spanish Repsol Honda Team rider (breaking his right collarbone) sparked the ire of the Spaniards, both journalists and riders. Speaking today is Alvaro Bautista, rider of Team Rizla Suzuki and former rider of the 250 class, the class in which he raced together with the current rider of Team Gresini, while yesterday it was Jorge Lorenzo's turn, who attacked Simoncelli from his blog..

“There was a lot of controversy with Simoncelli from Portugal. For me there is nothing new – said Bautista as reported by AS – In the 250cc I have already complained about his dangerous riding for himself and for others... and as usual. So it doesn't matter, but obviously, now in MotoGP things change. However, it is difficult to give an outside opinion on the accident. It's difficult to say who's to blame, only they know, but in any case Simoncelli was involved.”
