Wow, just watched the start of the Malaysian Moto GP and in the second lap Simoncelli was hit whilst sliding off his Honda. He died of his injuries at the track Hospital..... RIP Marco..... :'(

Unbelievably sad news, we watched it unfold and were in tears when it was announced.
He was dubbed "fully sic" at PI last week - RIP and thanks for the memories. :'(

So sad it's unreal. Marco was a future world champion, he had the fire in his belly. His talent burned bright and brilliant for the short time we were fortunate enough to witness it. RIP Marco, you will be sorely missed.  :'(

North America just waking up to the news. It's a huge loss to motorcycle racing.

RIP Marco.

said it in the other thread but here it is again. He was destined to be a great one. Way to young but who knows when the
time is up. God Speed Marco.

Losing Sic is tragic, but I hope Colin & Vallie cope with the tragedy of it all as well.
My prayers are with them all.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators.
We haven't met yet.

I just read about this for the first time early this morning on another forum.  I really feel sorry for Val and Colin.
Just call me Timmaaaaay!!!
