Marco was a real tallent in the making, really brightened up the paddock this year, such a great loss for something he loved doing.

Very sad day

Very sad news indeed - a great rider.

Reading the article, they say his helmet came off during the crash Must have been a hell of a spill to make that happen.

Very sad indeed. A true champion in the making. RIP Marco.

RIP Marco.. Thats a real big lose to GP. He was the next guy to take over from Rossi. A true talent and he will be missed by all the riders.
A shocking day for motorsport.

Absolutely gutted
Horrific crash I wish I hadn't seen it

Awful news -

Very sad, typically one of he few I've watched as well

I saw this on another forum, as I missed this mornings race. Glad I did really.

Horrible, horrible news.

The guy was an amazing talent and obviously had a passion for what he did, riding at the limit and beyond every time he was on track. He was my favourite rider on the grid, and one of a new generation I was looking forward to following for many years to come.

A massive loss of a true legend and brilliant sportsman.

I feel for Edwards too but there was nothing he could have done to avoid him.

RIP Marco, gone but never forgotten

very sad news
i recorded the races and watched earlier but they did not say why the moto gp race was cancelled just that there had been a accident.

r.i.p marco


Steve Hignett - 23/10/11 at 02:41 PM

Obviously RIP to Simoncelli, but I feel bad for Colin Edwards - I reckon he may even retire now...

Also Rossi may well think about his future with a below par Ducatti, will not suprise me if he calls time on moto gp and goes to car racing in the next year or two.

R.I.P. Marco
