RIP, saw him interviewed after the Philip Island race only a few days ago and thought what a nice guy and a real character, now he's gone. Terrible loss of such a young life.
RIP sir, this is Mrs RM's favourite sport (she is a bike rider herself), she is out at a dog agility show currently and wont knowthis has happened, she has recorded the race, I'm going to have to tell her before she watches I think, she really liked Simo.......sad day.
Just seen this, terrible tragedy. He in my opinion was the Lewis Hamilton of Moto GP.
He had a genuine winner's attitude and was only let down by the wrecklessness that came with it. This accident however was a simple case of the bike just sliding away from him and the other two riders watching their target... the next corner.
Tragic occurrence, I can't believe they don't get more deaths in motor-cycling given how fast they are travelling and how many bikes are on the track at the same time.
You wonder if the poor bastard that hit him will ever get over it.

It was Rossi and Colin Edwards who hit him. Many saw Simoncelli as Rossi's natural successor and they were very close. Rossi has since tweeted that marco was 'like a younger brother'. I'm sure both Edwards and Rossi are devastated, and I wonder whether, Edwards especially, may pack it in.
Totally awful, feel for Rossi and Edwards and for Simo's family. Especially his girlfriend who was track side and was clearly devistated the moment it happend.
Edwards was packing it in at the end of the season anyway. I wonder if Rossi will do another season in his honour or something.

Riposa In Pace Marco Simoncelli
Know what you mean about not feeling right. Would've been a future champion.
Race in peace.
