Since the race motor 2 has a lot of accidents in the third corner after the start. Surprisingly, according to him, at the turn lifting the yellow flag officers are not in a strategic area to see another rider, so there is a fallen rider was hit by another rider.

The Word says, in fact he was a candidate Valentino Rossi and Simoncelli. So, he followed the correct movement Simoncelli determines will be the new rising star.

The proof, says the Word, after passing the first lap, Simoncelli who use motorcycles numbered 58, which was originally in fifth can be directly bolted to fourth leaves Rossi.
