The 'letter' was from a girl whose twitter account is similar to Vale's. She signed it off as 'Vale' and it made a few rounds pretty quickly but she has apologised for the unneccessary hassle it's caused.
I don't expect Vale or Colin have much to say. The look on Valentino's face in the box said it all really. Through all his trials, falls and all that his long career in bike racing has thrown at him, I'd never once, before yesterday, seen Valentino cry. They were very very close. Bad enough to lose a buddy..being involved in the accident must feel like a stake through his heart.
Claudio Costa and Mattia Pasini have written some very moving words...
