We like it or we don't like it, but we can't blame Paolo Simoncelli to use wooden language: the man says what he thinks, without sparing anyone, and in his latest press release, the one whose name is juxtaposed with that of the Misano World Circuit aims without quoting him Valentino Rossi.
His text begins by welcoming the attendance of the public at the San Marino Grand Prix, 158 people over the three days, i.e. pre-pandemic levels. We could add that these are also pre-retirement levels of Valentino Rossi, the idol of the place, because the departure of the nine-time champion certainly had a negative influence on the number of spectators present in Misano.
And it's still Valentino Rossi that we think when reading the following passage.
“The Misano GP unfortunately opened with sad news: the death of Mike Trimby, one of the founding members of the IRTA. To tell the truth, I was annoyed to see the hospitality party on Saturday evening, it was as if the minute of silence held just before lost its value. »
Indeed, barely an hour later the very moving tribute paid to Mike Trimby, the most famous hospitality restaurant in the paddock, in fact the only one, was filled for a noisy concert with, on the turntables to accompany an orchestra, an exceptional DJ, Valentino Rossi. There, the young retiree mixed for 45 minutes, for the pleasure of Madame, certain VR46 drivers but also the privileged few who have access to the paddock.
Everyone will see noon at their door, and far from us the pretension of saying who is right. But in any case, it is good that all opinions are in nature, even if a small celebration in no way prejudges the respect we have for the deceased. Show must go on?
Paolo Simoncelli was amazed by the performance of the Harriers, who were accompanied by two huge deafening F22s which we found absolutely frightening!
“On the other hand, I was amazed and speechless by a surprise that had not been planned: an almost surreal performance by the Italian navy, a Harrier (capable of taking off and landing vertically) a fighter plane, I would say for us laymen, who made a salute (by lowering the tip of the plane) in front of the oak tree of Sic. Me and 100 other people were able to say, “I was there.”
These are beautiful emotions to experience in the front row. »
Once again, all tastes are natural…
