MotoGp, Valentino Rossi on Instagram: ‘Video of the accident scares me’

The Yamaha rider returns to the accident of the last weekend, which saw Zarco and Morbidelli as protagonists and which, by a whisker, did not involve him and Vinales as well, with a post on social media: “The video from my camera is what scares me more. Zarco did not intentionally cause a carom but he made a serious error of assessment, our safety counts more than positions “

An accident made everyone tremble last weekend in Austria: the contact between Zarco and Morbidelli, the motorbikes that fly e Rossi and Vinales coming out unscathed by a whisker (video). An episode that shook everyone, including Valentino who, a few days later, went back to what happened. He did so with a post on Instagram, a channel that the Yamaha rider usually ‘fills’ with festive content, almost always on his bike. This time, however, he decided to leave a long comment, complete with video – taken from his camera – to accompany the words and make them even stronger.

Rossi: “Zarco, an unwanted mistake but we need to reflect”

The images from my camera are the ones that scare me the most, because from here you can understand the speed with which Franco’s bike crossed the track right in front of me – explained the Doctor -. She passed so hard that I didn’t even see her, when I got back to the pits I was already shaken enough to have seen Zarco’s bike literally fly over Maverick’s head. Miraculously, nobody got hurt but I hope this incident makes everyone think, especially us drivers. Zarco did not intentionally cause such a carom, but however, a serious error of assessment remains, which a MotoGP rider cannot afford, especially in braking at 310 km / h. Moving quickly to the right and braking “in the face” of Franco, he did not give him the place to slow down, so Morbidelli could not help but hit him at full speed. I understand that in the race we play a lot and everyone gives their best to stay ahead, but we must not forget that ours is a dangerous sport, and our opponents’ safety is much more important than gaining a position. “
