Hi Guys

After the terrible news of Dan Wheldon last Sunday. We have lost today a sparkling Talent in Moto GP, Marco Simoncelli has died from injuries sustained during Maylasian GP.

A very sad day

Sub Par · 23 October 2011, 08:13 PM

Totally gutted over this, Simoncelli was a real character showing great promise and definitely looked the goods to be an open class champion one day. I also feel sad for Edwards and Rossi, there's nothing they could have done to avoid hitting him and one can only imagine how they must feel. A very sad situation all around...

BH13GMT · 23 October 2011, 08:27 PM

I totally agree. He was a breath of fresh air, ruffled a few feathers with his riding style but total entertainment.

PanosI · 23 October 2011, 08:49 PM

So sad ........ the helmet knocked off his head....tragic. RIP Marco.

akiruno · 23 October 2011, 09:24 PM

Devastating event. Loved to watch the lanky Italian mix it up while pushing to the absolute limit.

RIP young brother, RIP.

A truly sad freak accident.
Marco was a really great MotoGP personality, a young rising star, cut short in such circumstances is incredibly tragic.

RIP Super Simmo

apeogre · 23 October 2011, 10:32 PM

RIP Marco. I hope Edwards is doing ok after that collision. Was Marco out cold before Edwards collided with him? Side note, apparently he liked at least one Rolex

Ultraman · 23 October 2011, 10:44 PM

RIP Marco..

What a tragic accident..

SC11 · 23 October 2011, 10:57 PM

What an awful accident and 2nd tragic motorsport death in only a week !

Sad lost and my thoughts are with his friends and family.

I also hope Edwards and Rossi can recover from this.

Simoncelli & Wheldon R.I.P

Saw the video, very sad. Bad week for motorsports.

mrloneranger · 24 October 2011, 12:45 AM

RIP Marco Simoncelli,

I just saw the clip on youtube, how awful to see his helmet come off like that. Edwards and Rossi must feel terrible. Another freak accident... definitely a bad week for motorsport.

Terrible news indeed. :-(. Two weeks in a row for motor racing.

CDNWatchNut · 24 October 2011, 03:08 AM

Tragic loss of a rising MotoGP star. Nothing Edwards and Rossi could have done in that situation beyond what they did. Terrible for all involved...sad day for MotoGP. RIP Marco Simoncelli.

TSW · 24 October 2011, 03:15 AM

Terrible news!

RIP Marco

joeychitwood · 24 October 2011, 04:21 AM

Another huge loss in motorsports. How did Valentino Rossi keep the Ducati upright after the hit? Amazing driving.

xbox · 24 October 2011, 04:28 AM

Christiaan · 24 October 2011, 07:44 AM

I can only hope he didn't feel a thing. RIP

Damage Inc. · 24 October 2011, 08:34 AM

Wife and I were both taken aback when we heard the news. Very sad day for the entire motorcycling community.
I raced (club level) for 5 years and we lost 2 people in that time to racing accidents. It's dangerous business, even under the most ideal (closed course) conditions.
I trust that Collin & Vale won't blame themselves...not a damn thing they could do.
Rest in peace Marco, you will be missed.

BenDiem · 25 October 2011, 11:14 PM

Tragic indeed! I read an interesting article about him in a British motorcycle magazine (name unrecalled) this past weekend, at Barnes & Noble! Check it out...

He ruffled a lot of feathers. Great talent who risked it all...

What a shame...

RIP.
