Did Marco Simoncelli have on a chest protector?

I'm sure if you are here than you know about the tragic crash and resulting death of Marco Simoncelli during the last round of the MotoGp race. I have no desire to start a controversy, but I've been wondering if he was wearing a chest protector during the race.

I've watched most of the races, practices and qualifying on MotoGp.com and I've never seen him put one on. I know that Nicky Hayden, Colin Edwards, and others use them. Nicky and Colin use the same protector as I do during my track days/Impact Amour brand.

During the last week I've read and seen many reports about the crash and understand that his death was a result of chest trauma. I can't help but wonder if a properly worn chest protector would have helped. I'm also curious as to why these are not mandated in such a high level of competition as MotoGP, even some track days require their use.

If anyone has anything to add or can confirm that he was or was not wearing a chest protector please add a comment below.

Thanks
