Another race, another rider meeting with Race Direction. After Marco Simoncelli being called to speak to Race Direction after the crash in Le Mans, this time it was the turn of Kenan Sofuoglu and Julian Simon. Sofuoglu had run into the back of Simon at Catalunya, causing the Spaniard to crash and causing a very nasty multiple fracture.
The meeting had been contentious, especially as the Spanish press had been baying for Sofuoglu's blood. But while Sofuoglu had immediately run over to apologize after the crash, and had indeed contacted Simon personally to express his sympathy for putting Simon into the predicament he had, Sofuoglu and the team were keen to point out that Sofuoglu had not entered that corner any faster than normal. The cause of the problem, Sofuoglu and his team had said, was that Simon was entering the corner a little slower than normal, and on a slightly different line. Sofuoglu's error, the Technomag CIP rider conceded, was to find himself too close to Simon to be able to take evasive action.
