Nog even 2 oogverslagen vermelden. De val zag er niet spectaculair uit en er werd op dat moment niet overdreven snel gereden. Dit zou de stelling van een hartaanval toch kunnen bevestigen. Zou er in dit geval een autopsie gebeuren om de doodsoorzaak te achterhalen?

It's a very though situation for all of us. We need to take one more day to make up our minds and know exactly what to do. What the best solution is! We'll ask the organisation to fly us directly to Bamako, to give us more time, then we'll see. I was just behind Fabrizio when he fell off, maybe ten metres behind him. The track wasn't dangerous at that place and we weren't riding very fast at that moment. It's very hard to explain what happened, because his fall wasn't spectacular at all.

I really don't understand what happened. According to me, he was maybe looking at his road instruments. We had just refuelled so the bikes were pretty heavy, he maybe lost balance on a small dune with the weight. The scene of the crash wasn't dangerous. We had just lost ourselves and we were looking for the right track. Cyril was on the good track and took off. Fabrizio followed in his dust and 300m later I saw Coma with his hand in the air so I stopped. I immediately knew it was serious. There was a lot of bleeding. I had trouble finding the distress signal and finally launched it. I then waited for the helicopter because I couldn't just leave. I think that we should carry on for him and for Richard (Sainct)… He would have wanted us to. It was his passion.

Volgens het persbericht van KTM zou Meoni gestorven zijn aan een gebroken nek en dus niet aan een hartstilstand.
