RIP SIMONCELLI

[Geezmoz]

Me and my gf are gutted... we got his autograph and took photos with him last week at Phillip Island. It hit us hard when we saw the accident and our hearts sunk... R.I.P SIC

Yeah bit strange.  I was down the Island, waved to him in the BMW riders procession, watched him race...all just a week ago and now gone.  RIP #58 Super Sic

Still feeling a bit ill (I was watching the race  ).   RIP Marco. A great loss to MotoGP.

[DUCMONROB]

The missus was explaining what a character he was at a BBQ several hours before the race, then we watched him talk about his bike. When I saw that his helmet was off his head I had a very sick feeling. I hang on till the end of the telecast only to hear the devastating news.

RIP Marco. Every one around the world is going to miss your charm and your hair!

You will be greatly missed.....

RIP MC........

Watching that crash makes me sick to the stomach.. Sad day for the world I say. RIP.
A real character and the world is alittle emptier now.

I feel sick just remembering the footage on TV.

RIP Simo

It brings back the memory of Wayne Gardner hitting a rider (Italian I think) who ran back onto the track after binning it and having his helmet ripped clean off!

He survived luckily although took a while to get well again!  

The vision makes my skin crawl!

Ciao Marco!  


Has anyone heard how Colin is?? 

[mattyvas]

horrible horrible horrible day. 
I've just watched this morning after not being able to bring myself to watch it last night while Annick was sitting beside me.
Watched until Gavin and Nick passed the news on, the emotion and devastation in their voices said it all.

We all just saw him larger than live here in Oz 7 days ago.

I hope Vale and Colin can recover from being involved in the acco, I know the Gardner acco took him a while to get right again.

Moto GP will never be the same.

RIP Sic #58

For those who dont know what I was talking about re Wayne Gardner and Franco Uncini at Assen! 

[heatherp]

Ciao Marco!  


Has anyone heard how Colin is??  

Physically, Colin has a dislocated shoulder.  God knows how he feels mentally, and Rossi, shattered I guess.

I'm wondering what the riders will do at the last round in Spain, I know they will observe a minute's silence, but will some riders pull the pin and not race?

Do you think Rossi will race? Or Stoner?

I was thinking the same thing.  But would it be more of a tribute to ride than not too? I wouldn't be surprised if Rossi didn't race.

[dragonworld.]

Bottom line is they all go racing with the full knowledge of the risks, and they have chosen this as their profession as well as their passion!

I can understand the blunting of the enthusiasm possibly (eg Soon to be Dad Stoner!) But they will assimilate the event and go on!

[cakeman]

I think they should call off the last race of the season and have some sort of fitting tribute at the track. I couldnt imagine to many of the riders would be in a great frame of mind to race
