In an inconsiderate gesture during the race that he recognized as senseless, the career of Roman Fenati stopped. But his life, too, turned upside down. Because since then, it's all the same the cure. The pilot apologized, his team fired him, his contract with MV Agusta for next season denounced, he announced his withdrawal from competition and, despite everything, the Italian federation withdraws his license and summons him. Now it's the man who is receiving death threats...

Roman Fenati had extraordinary behavior on the Misano track, but what is happening to him today is also beyond comprehension. In good Italian we would like to say “basta”. The sponsors would have warned the teams: “ be careful if you give him a motorbike in the future ". The tifoses threaten him: “ you must die ". At home, the phone rings every hour. Thousands of messages on the Internet forced him to suspend his social media accounts. On the walls of Ascoli, his city, insults against those around him flourish.

So it’s the cure. And in the columns of 24heure.ch, Roman Fenati comments: “ I made a mistake, I pay the consequences: I surrender, you have won. And I say stop, enough. I have problems dealing with all this rage I have inside me, I admit it. I had been working on this for a few years with Lea, my mental trainer. I was the most correct driver last season and I continued to do well. Until Sunday ».

« I understand the animosity towards me, because I was wrong and because I gave a horrible image to our sport. But I was betrayed by my instinct. Does this whole wave of hatred seem logical to you? ". A question he asks us all.
