FIM releases report into fatal Luis Salom accident. MOTORGP
The FIM has released its technical report detailing its findings in the wake of Luis Salom's fatal accident during first free practice for the Catalan Moto2 race in May.
The 24 year-old succumbed to injuries following an accident during Moto2 free practice at turn 12 of the Circuit de Catalunya. No other rider was involved.
The technical report – conducted by the Technical Director and the Director of Technology in the presence of judicial expert Angle Calzada Gomez and independent telemetry expert Lluis Lleonart Gomez - confirms there were no apparent defects with the SAG Team Kalex or the tyres in the run up to the accident.
The report concludes braking offline and at an angle appears to have been the primary cause of the initial crash, though it was the impact with the bike after it struck the barrier that ultimately resulted in his fatal injuries.
Though the SAG Team had suggested bumps leading into Turn 12 played their part, the report says the data showed no evidence of this.
