It will not be any weekend that will be staged in Misano starting tomorrow with the first two free practice sessions of the Emilia Romagna and Made in Italy Grand Prix. In addition to the last performance by Valentino Rossi in front of the home audience, in fact, on Saturday the tenth anniversary of the death of Marco Simoncelli, whose dream was broken on the track in Malaysia at Sepang on 23 October 2011 following a fall with a singular dynamics that saw the Gresini team rider return to his trajectory in an unnatural way, being fatally hit by Colin Edwards and by Valentino Rossi.
“They were two guys who loved each other very much. As it happens between true friends “, the words of Kate Fretti relating to the relationship between Valentino Rossi and Marco Simoncelli. Kate Fretti, historical girlfriend of Marco Simoncelli for whom she had left Bergamo and with whom she was ready to take root in Coriano, the birthplace of the world champion in the 250 class in 2008, declared that Sic is still her life even in ten years after the Sepang tragedy. “Ten years without Marco. I think it’s been a really long time but it’s not like an anniversary brings to mind. It happens every day – said Kate Fretti interviewed by The Corriere della Sera – I’ve always kept diaries and one day I’ll write a book even though I’ve never told anyone. My life changed in a matter of seconds. I have been dealing with lifelong anxiety ever since. If my brother doesn’t answer the phone I think the worst ”.
2021 is turning out to be a rather ruthless year for speed motorcycling riders. In fact, there are already three very young boys who gave their lives for their dream (Jason Dupasquier, Hugo Millan and Dean Berta Vinales). Kate Fretti on this issue agrees with what should have been her father-in-law, Paolo Simoncelli: “The Foundation exists because there are competitions. The Simoncelli team, the same. I and many of my friends work thanks to motorcycles. But sometimes in the face of all these tragedies I feel like saying: let’s close everything immediately. It is a thought that I erase when I think that this is my world after all ”.
