Not just any Honda rider. Marco Simoncelli. Destined to be a great one. God Speed Marco.

I can't believe the events of the last couple of weeks. First Dan Wheldon and now Simoncelli.
Marco was a true breath of fresh air in this sanitized world of sports that we live in nowadays.
On a recent interview he was asked if the thought of dying racing ever crossed his mind to which he answered paraphrasing Brett Munro: "Not really, you live more in five minutes on a motorcycle at full throttle than many people live on their whole lives".
Ciao Marco, you'll be missed.  :'(
