Thanks to the Italian Embassy in Malaysia, the autopsy the body of Marco Simoncelli has already been made, even if you do not already know the outcome. The body, at this point, it will resume the path of Italy accompanied by his father Paul. Waiting for him at home, mother and little sister Scarlett Martina. Will follow the funeral home, Wednesday, and the funeral the next day. The funeral home to bid farewell to Marco Simoncelli will be staged at the Teatro Comunale of Coriano. The family has already notified their intention to make the funeral in the Church of Santa Maria di Coriano.
SECOND AUTOPSY IN ITALY? - Simoncelli could be subjected to a second autopsy. The casket may be blocked Tuesday morning when they arrive at the airport of Fiumicino. How can we learn is that insurance is not sufficient to consider the response, which has not been made public, the autopsy done in Malaysia.
THE INEVITABLE CONTROVERSY - The helmet comes off and rolling, the body of Simoncelli helpless on the track. That chilling image at all, it soon became a serious accident that unfortunately took away the life of SuperSic. In these moments you think only the immense pain of relatives and friends but it also asks how and why such a tragedy could have access.
"Tragic fate", but they all say the dynamics of these accidents are often fatal. It 'the same thing happened to the poor Japanese Tomizawa, last year.
TIRES AND DRIVE - The result was strange. The loss of adhesion of the front wheel it would send the bike and rider outside of the curve, and not away from the path of other bikes.
The traction control of his Honda may have been a problem: the electronic system could have read the slipping of the rear tire as an anomaly, but because Mark is still attached to the motion to open the throttle up, but the telemetry (ie the data coming directly from the bike during the race) denied this report as the words of an engineer of Honda HRC. "The data acquisition means that we have verified that this was true of a fatality. Mark's bike lost grip front and back simultaneously, extending outward from the curve. Mark has tried to straighten it, to keep it up, until the two tires grip again. It was completely closed and gas in this state any e-strategy involved. " Sure makes you think that the electronic signals that can give the bike rider could lead to death.
THE HELMET STACCATO - The killing blow was on the neck. Said the doctor talking about 'neck trauma', but because his helmet flew off? Nico Cereghini, Mediaset journalist and former pilot said: "The strike has meant that the band will tear the helmet. Luckily the strap was torn, otherwise he would have pulled the head Simoncelli. His helmet AGV is one of the best issued, kept in detail. Helmets must pass strict tests like this. A helmet of Mark is torn in two berths on either side of the jaw. As for the helmet, unfortunately, everything was normal. It is not however the dynamics of 'accident'.
Some say that Marco was wearing a helmet one size bigger because of the thick hair but the only truth is that, despite the introduction of the airbag in suits (and Simoncelli had), it is virtually impossible to protect the cervical region if it is invested.
VALENCIA FOR TEAM NO GRESINI - Finally, it seems certain that the Gresini team will not participate in the next Grand Prix in Valencia, the last of the season, scheduled for November 4 to 6. "The only thing certain about the future is that my team will not participate in the next Grand Prix in Valencia or the test program after the race," he told the site gpone.com Fausto Gresini, that after that of Daijiro Kato in 2003 Suzuka has had to face another tragedy on the track.
