A truly horrific crash... RIP Marco. You were one of the good ones. You will be missed.

I agree I really enjoyed watching him my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, RIP Marco  How are Edwards and Rossi holding up, they must be devastated. You can see them try to avoid him, Collin's bike really got fishy. I can't imagine how they feel. If Marco had just let go instead of trying to save it- but that wasn't his style. |

I just watched the youtube videos and now I wish I hadn't.  Seeing Edwards get up and stagger towards Marco and watching Rossi riding back onto the track seemingly shaking his head after what had just happened is gut wrenching. Think twice about watching the videos. I'm sure DORNA will do everything to shut them all down. Do you blame them? |

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Luckily someone warned me before I watched the race, I think I'll be skipping this one.
A sad day indeed.

I'm pretty sure it will also be the last race of both Collin and Rossi. Sic was my favorite for the future; guess I was wrong. Still can't find the words to express how I feel. Planned to go out for a ride today; at first didn't want to, then changed my mind thinking there's no better way to commemorate him then by going for a ride.  |

IMO he was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming motogp.

I also agree. It's difficult to express what a loss this is. It was clear he enjoyed what he did and he was good at it. He had a raw talent for racing that is rare today. And his fans loved him for it. He will be missed! R.I.P. Marco. |

In the USA speed showed coverage of the 125 race. As it was recorded before the GP race this morning there was no info on the tragic events that happened earlier today other than a scroll across the bottom of the screen.
Simo was a very talented rider with a very bright future. His aggressive riding style made for good entertaining racing. He will be missed.
