Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: fastwin on October 23, 2011, 08:33:10 AM Ditto. [bow_down] Sad day indeed.
Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: Düb Lüv on October 23, 2011, 09:38:11 AM i first saw thread about the accident cause i missed the live viewing of GP this morning. it's so incredibly sad. he was my favorite non-ducati rider and loved his aggressiveness. i love how that son of a buck would ruff up other riders and brought a lot of excitement to the race.
you will be missed. Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: kocheroni on October 23, 2011, 10:20:26 AM ... saw the Sepang race on BBC this morning - what a shock - a freak accident that makes you indeed sick.
Even more so considering the contact with his good friend and mentor Valentio did cause him loosing the helmet. My thoughts are with his family and friends - RIP Marco Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: duclvr on October 23, 2011, 02:14:48 PM RIP
Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: dark_duc on October 23, 2011, 02:25:59 PM Very sad, RIP

Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: Tangerine Dream on October 23, 2011, 05:53:42 PM Saw the race this morning on MotoGP.com
Have been sad all day CIAO Super Sic :'( RIP Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: ab on October 23, 2011, 06:30:14 PM RIP.
I am really sad by this news. Simoncelli was my favorites next to Rossi. He was 2nd last week podium in Australia and twice podium this season. Still shocked by the news. I can't imagine what Collin Edwards must be feeling. Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: Desmostro on October 23, 2011, 06:34:17 PM I was on my way to Sepang from Hong Kong and got held up by work - didn't make the race. Kind of glad I didn't go. That would have sucked to be there for that.
+1 what he said, + I can't imagine what poor Vale must be feeling. Can you imagine - worst nightmare hitting your friend. :( So sad. So shocked. Ciao Simo - Addio, Sostare in pace. RIP. I am really sad by this news. Simoncelli was my favorites next to Rossi. He was 2nd last week podium in Australia and twice podium this season. Still shocked by the news.

Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: iRam on October 23, 2011, 08:34:23 PM Its a sad day. I enjoyed watching Marco race. RIP Super Sic. Youll be missed.
Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: Howley on October 24, 2011, 04:24:02 AM I've been sad all last night and today about this. I didn't watch motogp all the time, but when I did, for some reason he was the first guy I looked for. He was such an entertainer, but he seemed like a honest to goodness nice guy too. He'll be missed for sure.
RIP Marco. Say hi to my mate Sam when you get to heaven, I reckon you two will get along. Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: Jumptship on October 24, 2011, 09:14:49 AM (http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/bobspapa/mar58.jpg) Fitting. Gonna miss Super Sic. Met him last year at Indy when he signed shirts for my kids. He was one of my fav's and my 6 yr old son's racing idle (he liked the crazy hair and riding style). Still don't seem real that someone so talented and young can be gone. Must have been (and still is) horrible for friends, family, and fellow racers at the track. RIP Sic!

Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: CairnsDuc on October 24, 2011, 04:00:21 PM It is a Terrible loss, but I still think the Saddest Image, a moment on the Broadcast that is burned into my Memory, a few seconds after the crash, they crossed to (I think) His Girlfriend in the Garage (Please correct me if that is incorrect)
The look on her face as she turned away from the Screen and the Camera... In Tears. Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: CDChase1981 on October 25, 2011, 03:58:57 AM :'( RIP Super Sic

In Tears. Yeah I caught that one too, it really got to me, you could tell she knew he was gone. Very sad. RIP #58 Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: junior varsity on October 25, 2011, 01:59:21 PM probably my favorite racer next to rossi as well. very sad - i very much liked that he rode & raced motorcycles because it is fun - it is a similar mentality to Rossi. I imagine(d) he would be a world championship contender in short order, factory bike or not.
i had not watched the race that morning when my wife, who watches every race with me, was scrolling through headlines on her phone and exclaimed that simoncelli had passed away. i don't think either of us said much to each other after that, nor did either of us approach watching the race with much excitement. Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: scduc on October 25, 2011, 04:29:37 PM :'( Sad day indeed. Take comfort in knowing that he went doing something he loved. Not many of us can say that.
Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: mitt on October 25, 2011, 07:12:15 PM For anyone who is wondering why more people haven't chimed in on this thread, there is one (or two) in racing as well that is up to 7 pages.

There's a thread about the race (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=53213.0) and one about the aftermath (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=53231.0) of Marco's accident.mitt I was just completely in shock by the accident and posted here without even thinking too much about it. Didn't even think about putting 'spoiler' or whatever in the title. I saw the photo of the box with his bike standing by itself and the empty chairs and thought that pretty much said everything.

[thumbsup] [Dolph] Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: psycledelic on October 27, 2011, 10:31:18 PM Not sure why I am having such a hard time digesting this. Everytime I think about it, I still get that sinking feeling in my stomach that I got when i first saw the accident. When I turned on the race (DVR'ed on SPEED) and saw the MotoGP125 race come on, I thought, "Well, either my DVR screwed up or someone got...." - that was when the news scrolled across the bottom of the screen. What a loss. Rest In Peace Marco. GP races will not be the same without you.
Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: DRKWNG on October 28, 2011, 03:33:29 PM Odd thought here, but what do you suppose the chances of Honda releasing a special CBR, wearing #58, would be?
Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: junior varsity on October 28, 2011, 03:39:21 PM i think they ought to as a tribute. if i had a honda for a trackbike, it'd be painted a replica gresini #58

Depends on whether their PR people decide that the public would perceive it as "honoring a racer" or "cynically cashing in." And just how many they think they'd sell. :P Title: Re: Addio Marco (Sic) Post by: DRKWNG on October 28, 2011, 03:42:28 PM I've never really been one to fancy the bikes done up in race schemes, but I think I'd seriously consider picking one of these up if they were built.
