Simoncelli crash a ?freak accident?

MotoGP world champions Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi do not think anything could have been done to prevent Marco Simoncelli's fatal accident in the Malaysian Grand Prix. Simoncelli died from injuries suffered when he veered into the path of Rossi and Colin Edwards during a crash on lap two at Sepang. Amid suggestions that a quirk of the Bridgestone tyres' characteristics caught Simoncelli out and caused his bike's unusual trajectory in the crash, Stoner insisted that the incident was just an unfortunate one-off and not tyre-related.
