lets switch gears a little bit then...fave Simo moment...I'll start with mine...

in a 1 off WSBK ride on the factory Aprilia RSV4 along side Max Biaggi, in the winding down laps of the 2nd race, here comes this hair on fire kid from seemingly out of nowhere into the last chicane before the start/finish straight and looking like he was a kamikaze accident barrelling into to the abyss of broken plastic does the unexpected and stuffs Max in a way and place that most riders don't seem to consider doing at that point on the track and keeps the bike in tact for the pass....that overzealousness which was his will to try and make the bike do things that seemingly bend to his will was what Marco was about,and while it wasn't always a success....it was damn spectactular and worthy of highlight reels when he pulled things like that off...

That is one helluva move! My favorite moment was this one last year, Sic just wasn't going to let Lorenzo pull a move on him! The guy was like a rock wall, you know he felt him back there too and he easily just rode through and said NOPE!

Some new information on Sic's funeral and pictures of his family.

Warning - some of the graphic photos of the impact are unfortunately embedded in the article Sad

words from marco's father: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/95668

btw, he says that marco was dead on the track. there were some other mentions of media coverage contrary to this earlier this thread.

in the Race Direction press conference the medical lead clearly says he was unconscious when they got to him. plus, you can't intubate a conscious person.

of course it's just another person's opinion but when my wife (an ER/ICU nurse) watched the impact on Sunday, she was sure he was dead instantly. as in sure he did not suffer, never knew what happened.

I am going to go with this for myself.

I have no medical training whatsoever, but I turned off the TV immediately after the crash. I didn't need to see the headlines.

BTW, Gresini will be at Valencia with Marco's #58 on display. Just not sure if they're going to race.

Fathers should never grieve sons. Cry

No parent should ever grieve a child.

It's a pain we're not trained to bear. It changes lives.

Fausto has said they will have the tribute there but the team will not participate in the race or in the testing afterwards. Source is one of the last few articles posted but I am depressed to sort through and find it.

CIAO SuperSic. RIP :'(
