Cori🌳ano, near Misano, will open a new tribute to late MotoGP racer Marco Simoncelli at the gateway to the town this week.

Simoncelli tragically lost his🥀 life in a crash dur🐷ing the 2011 MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix.

The Italian was 250cc world champion in 2🌄008 before stepping up to MotoGP in 2010 with the Gresini squad aboard a Honda RC212V.

He remained with the Gresini squad for 2011 and scored his first MotoGP podium in that year’s Czech GP, before adding a second to his tally at the🐭 Australian GP just a week before he di🔯ed.

Since hi꧑s death in 2011, numerous tributes have been created in Simonce🌃lli’s honour.

At the Sepang International Circuit where he lost his life, a plaque was dedicated at the corꦿner where the fatal accident൲ happen.

The Misano circu🐈it was renamed in his honour, while a museum was opened in his hometown of Coriano charting his racing career.

Simoncelli’s father Paolo carries on his son’s legacy through the SIC58 ൲Squadra Corse, which cu⛎rrently competes in the Moto3 World Championship.

Ahead of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna GP at Misano, a new Simoncelli display 💝designed by Aldo Drudi will be unveiled on a roundabout at the entrance to Corian♎o.

It will be officiated on Thursday.

“We♔ managed to arrive in the time set by the double MotoGP appointment  r🙈eady to dedicate the most important road access gate of Coriano to Marco Simoncelli,” Gianluca Ugolini, mayor of Coriano, told Rimini Today.

“A desired and not casual anniversary tཧhanks to the harmony created right from the start with Aldo Drudi, for the design of the work, and over the years with the Simoncelli family for the sharing of many projects.

“In addition to ⛎his skills as a prodigious rider, in just a few years, Marco, always generous in every situation, was the boy we all would have wanted a𝓡nd for whom we have chosen to pay homage once again with this work dedicated to him.”
