Sad end to the season in Valencia
The 2011 MotoGP season comes to a sad conclusion on Sunday in the final round of the Championship at the Generali Grand Prix of the Comunitat Valencia in Spain.
The MotoGP paddock comes together for the final time still stunned by the death of Marco Simoncelli at the previous round in Malaysia but equally determined to race to the limit in memory of the Italian. Simoncelli’s San Carlo Gresini team will compete in the MotoGP race in Valencia with Hiroshi Aoyama and in Moto2 with Yuki Takahashi and Michele Pirro in a tribute to their team-mate.
Fausto Gresini
“The decision to participate was not an easy one, but we have made this choice as it is what Marco would have wanted. Going out on track at Valencia is definitely the best way to honour him by doing what he most loved to do: Ride and experience the world of MotoGP. This is why I believe that the best show of affection that we can make to Marco is by lining up our teams and riders for this race. ‘Super Sic’ will be present in the hearts of Hiroshi Aoyama, Michele Pirro and Yuki Takahashi, and I am sure that they will give him a most fitting tribute with their performances on Sunday.”
