Sorry, wrong Marco. Same thing.
so sad 🙁
Colin Edwards must be in pieces! I hope he recovers. 😥
RIP Marco.
Obviously more serious than Parish and the other fella were putting across when I was watching.
Very sad news - he really made MotoGP races fascinating with his aggressive riding. A future MotoGP champion sadly lost - RIP.
Thankfully I've not seen any footage from any of it, but the general gist I'm getting over on Pistonheads is pretty horrific. I can see Edwards turning in his wings, and I reckon Rossi could as well. Unimaginable the guilt/grief they must be going through, even though it appears that they had no chance to avoid him.
This is how i will remember him....
A great character and a fantastic racer. RIP Marco
Awful 😥
Horrible accident. Marco will be missed. Thoughts with his friends, family and the other MotoGP riders, not least Colin and Valentino. 🙁 RIP
Oh god no this is awful from the high of watching the rugby world cup to this awful awful news. :cry
Just heartbreaking and feel for his family friends and team
RIP Marco - The next Rossi is no more 🙁
Edwards and Rossi had no where to go. I hope that this doesn't have an effect on their racing going forward.
Great clip Rorschach, he had so much character and his overtaking was the best in a sport where overtaking is commonplace! Why FFS he was the best!
Awful accident. Very very sad news.
Sad dad news. RIP Marco.
Has been a bad past year for motor sport really, Tomizawa, then Wheldon recently and now today. 🙁
Edwards and Rossi had no where to go. I hope that this doesn't have an effect on their racing going forward.
Yeah 🙁 I can see edwards packing it in, he had nowhere to go but he'll be broken inside. Rossi might keep going. We had a death in last years moto2 as well.
Ciao Super Sic.
The most exciting racer out there.
I feel pretty hollow right now.
Just heard the news, feel gutted, absolutely gutted.
RIP Marco Simoncelli
Just heard about this on the news, terrible news. One of the truely exciting prospects in Moto GP.
RIP Marco Simoncelli
so sad 🙁 rest in peace Simoncelli. totally gutted he was so exciting to watch and i was watching with anticipation as his career progressed. rossi and edwards must be in bits but there was no way to avoid that, i know he and valentino were good friends i hope they dont blame themselves Marco Simoncelli RIP
RIP Marco Simoncelli, what an awful crash and a terrible loss of life. Very similar to Craig Jones and Shoya Tomizawa. In those situations Andrew Pitt and Scott Redding and Alex DeAngelis were all in the same position as Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi. My sympathies to those two guys at this diffuclt time.
Oh and that poem Wildfred Owen's poem Dulce et Decorum Est is probably the most moving and upsetting poetry I've ever read. Not sure what it has to do with Simoncelli
Very sad. RIP Marco.
Not sure what it has to do with Simoncelli
Died doing what was vitally important to him, I guess.
very very sad news; he was a breath of fresh air, such a great character and fantastic rider.
RIP Marco
Really sad, RIP.
Be safe people.
Wouldn't be surprised if Colin Edwards retires after this either
Must be so hard for all the riders in the paddock to get back on their bikes after something like this. Was a good decision (and the only right decision) by Dorna to cancel the race. Valencia will now be a very sad end to the season.
