What a horrible accident...
Such an exciting talented rider gone. Bad week for motorsport.

Not sure if you guys watch MotoGp, but Marco Simoncelli died today after his front wheel lost grip mid corner, then re-gained grip pushing him across the track into oncoming riders Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi. His helmet came off as he hit the ground, and died shortly after in the medical centre.
A true talent lost too early. He was 24.
I watched the Phillip Island GP last week when Marco finished second. Great talent, funny guy. Sad to see this sort of thing. At least he was doing what he loved though.
RIP Marco Simoncelli
was watching this live, the accident looked terrible. saw his helmet come off and knew it was bad. Such a great talent taken way before his time
RIP Marco
Lost for words![]()

The world is will miss his tallent.
"Every time you thumb the starter we are aware of the risk we take, the risk inherant to what we do. It's always there, it's always silently understood, silently excepted. It's a part of what we do, it is often a part of why we do." (can't rember the source)
R.I.P. marco. drag your knees in the clouds.
I just saw the video on youtube, absolutely horrible to watch.
Seeing a man lying motionless on the ground with his helmet on the other side of the track chills me to the bone.
R.I.P mate, thoughts go out to the families.
RIP Marco
What A terrible week in motorsport
Bad, bad week for the sport.
Thoughts are with all those close to him, RIP mate.

RIP Marco....some people would say that it was a matter of time because he truly pushed himself 110% all the time, being such an agressive rider your more likely to have an off and it was unfortunate that it ended up this way.
Spare a thought for Valentino Rossi though, Marco and Rossi were good mates and for Vale to be involved in the accident and to also run over Marco....he must be feeling very saddened.
once again RIP Marco...you mad italian bastard
Terrible news! Least he went doing something he loved. Rossi an Edwards must be feeling it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShZFD...eature=related
