Farewell to a modern Day gladiator Cut down in his prime, he was buried today.

A tribute to A People's Champion

I'm not afraid to say that a tear rolled down my cheek at the end. Very sad. RIP Marco.

aye very sad day

Not going to lie, this ones still got me stumped and tears have been shed. Can't believe it.

The only reason I ever watched the moto gp, I'm truly gutted

Yup its loss, and like others im stumped as to why its peeved me so much too.

A sad sad day, and yes a tear or two has rolled........

Those lads are all heroes, I loved watching Marco battering the bike into submission and blasting through the opposition regardless making his own openings as was his style. It's sad when these things happen.

Blimey what a hard video to watch especially the last bit

I still haven't seen the crash (saw it on BBC news and they stopped it as he came off - that was enough for me) so don't really want to watch this video. I feel the same, I've been more gutted by his death that any other motorsport crash than I can remember, was talking about it again with someone last night and felt really upset. It's a real shame - he was surely gonna be the next big thing.

Do we think Colin and Vale will retire now? I really feel for those guys, not the way you want to end a career - you're never going to forget that one.
