Yesterday, Fausto Gresini was quoted by several Italian media sources that he would not take his MotoGP and Moto2 teams to Valencia to take part in the final event of the season.
Apparently the Italian team manager who has lost two riders in tragic racing accidents, has had a change of heart or the outpouring of messages from thousands of fans who wish to pay their last tribute to Marco Simoncelli during the Valencia GP may have have convinced the stricken manager to change his mind.
The entire team will be at the Spanish circuit will be at the Valencian circuit the beginning of November and display Simoncelli’s # 58 Honda in their garage.
Fausto Gresini has yet to decide if Hiroshi Aoyama, Michele Pirro and Yuki Takahashi will take part in their respective races.
According to the official Motogp website the team may make that announcement tomorrow morning or wait until after the funeral services that will be held on Thursday.
