Miraculously, all the protagonists involved left the scene of the accident on their own legs, but the emotional reaction towards Oncu was heavy, also because we must not forget that we are veterans of the tragic death of 15-year-old Dean Berta Vinales, which took place just last. week in the Supersport 300.
