Rider died at Misano during an amateur race

Fatal accident at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli during the Coppa Italia Speed ​​races. Fabrizio Giraudo, 46 ​​years old from Fossano (CN), passed away while he was engaged in the Italian Amateur Trophy, RR Cup category, 1000 class. Giraudo was involved in a contact between several riders on the straight at the end of the first lap of the race. Despite the timely intervention of the rescuers, he sadly passed away. The IMF, the promoter of the Trophy and the Misano World Circuit have decided to cancel the event in respect of the tragedy that occurred.

As regards the dynamics of the accident, which involved 4 riders, it would appear to have been caused by a problem with the engine of a motorbike, therefore an oncoming motorbike would have hit the stationary vehicle, moving it to the center of the roadway, where a third motorbike was arriving. In the impact, the rider fell and was hit and killed by a speeding motorcycle.
