Simoncelli: Team Gresini has decided, it will race in Valencia in both MotoGP and Moto2

In the end Team Gresini decided, in Valencia they will take to the track with both the MotoGP with Hiroshi Aoyama and the Moto2 with Michele Pirro and Yuki Takahashi. The decision was made thinking about Marco's wishes and also thinking about what his father Paolo said yesterday, who in Valencia would like to remember his son who passed away in Sepang with a minute of "casino", instead of one of silence.

“The decision to make was not easy but we wanted to follow what would have been Marco's will – said Fausto Gresini – Taking to the track in Valencia is certainly the best way to honor what he loved to do; run and live in this world. Therefore I believe it is the most significant demonstration of affection that we can give to Marco together with our teams and our riders. With “Super Sic” in their hearts Hiroshi Aoyama, Michele Pirro and Yuki Takahashi I am sure that on Sunday they will give the best of themselves on the track to honor Marco in a big way.”
