Ciao Marco
« on: October 23, 2011, 09:45:30 am »
For those of you who dont follow motoGP or live in countries where racing news dont hit the TV headlines, Honda rider Marco Simoncelli, MotoGP's liveliest character, the next Rossi in the opinion of many, was killed today in a very nasty crash at the Malaysian GP.

RIP Marco, your wild style will be missed.

For me personally, not a big fan of Marco, but liked his attitude, counts the most that a family has lost their son.
He did what he loved most.
R.I.P Marco, ride with the Gods of Speed.

a horrible crash with a very sad result.
He was one of the most promising MotoGP riders and full of enthusiasm.

RIP Marco Simoncelli
