The entire Race Direction, the Clinica Mobile, the marshalls and the astroturf at Misano have come under attack by outraged fans, and we say rightly so, regarding how the horrific and tragic accident that took the life of Shoya Tomizawa demanding to know why the Moto2 race wasn’t immediately red flagged and how the injuries of the riders were treated trackside.
After the jump you can read what the members of the race direction and Dr.
Claudio Macchiagodena declarations on how the incident was handled and defending their positions, but we would like to ask just one simple question.
Why did Jorge Lorenzo at the parc ferme and during Italy’s post race show Fuori Giri declare that he knew that Tomizawa had passed away before the start of the MotoGP race, when officially Tomizawa was pronounced dead at 2:19 pm at the Riccione hospital and why the other riders weren’t informed so they could decide to race or not?We understand the reasons that Tomizawa’s family had to be informed before the public and if he was declared dead at the Misano World Circuit, the entire track would have been closed down by the coroner and magistrates looking into the death, but does the old adage “the show must go on” really count more in this case, than the life of a human being?
