This Catalan Grand Prix was marked by the dramatic and fatal accident of Luis Salom who lost his life in a bend on the Montmélo track, during the second Moto2 free practice session. An event which gave rise to several demonstrations of compassion and solidarity from pilots who were mourning their missing colleague. Strong gestures. No, not those of the reconciliation between Rossi and Márquez.
And yet, it was these outpourings which first caught the attention at the end of a Catalan Grand Prix won for the tenth time in his career by Valentino Rossi. A Doctor then inclined to put a damper, if not even an end, to his open conflict with Marc Márquez since the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, the rest of the board kept louis salom on your mind. Perhaps the strongest gesture came from a Pol Espargaro who went to meditate during his lap of honor on the exact places where the tragedy took place. He was very alone. But everyone experiences their pain as they wish and everyone, in this case, deserves respect.
