Deeply tragic.

Goodness knows how his close friend Valentino Rossi will be feeling as his bike was involved. Prayers of strength to Marco's family.

Exactly what I was thinking Robin  :sad1:
Hopefully he doesn't blame himself for it, natural though I guess  :sad1:

Fortunately (if I can use that word), I don't think any of the other riders can be considered to blame for the tragic accident - Marco's bike very unusually came back across the track into them - They had no choices. It might feel worse to Marco (or to any rider) if he had survived and his bike had killed another rider.

It doesn't make the grief any less, but such are the risks of motorsport and all involved accept those risks. The future question has to be whether Valentino may now feel like retiring from racing.

Yeah no-one is to blame.

Hopefully Rossi can accept what's happened to his friend + being involved in the accident and continue on with his career  :happy2:

What a terrible week for Motorsport  :sad1:  This crash was a freak accident made even worse by Valentino being involved in killing one of his close friends. It is going to take him a long time to come to terms with that, very very sad all round.

All,

You can leave your tributes to Super Sic on the MotoGP website here:

http://www.motogp.com/en/contact/tributetosimoncelli

A true racer, who would repass at the first opportunity whoever he was racing. No respecter of reputations, Marco was a MotoGP champion in waiting as well as a double 250cc world champ.

We'll miss you

I still can't believe this has happened, it was my birthday on sunday and woke up to this, not nice at all.

Just read the Motorcycle News with all the tributes e.t.c. Also been reading a lot of the stuff on the internet, thought his father gave a nice honest piece about him.

I also can't believe the trackside medics dropped the stretcher he was on, this happened when Tomizawa died too and is shocking. I understand that they are rushing and trying to do their best for the injured rider but it's not on, especially now its happened twice!

It's his funeral in Italy tomorrow, expecting 50,000 people around the area. Gresini are also going to travel to Valencia and set his pit garage up with his bike as a farewell, wish I was able to make it this year!

Having followed the Moto GP for years and having been to races in various different countries, fans all over the world loved him. He was the one I always went to support, my work van is covered in 'Super Sic' and #58 stickers. I was in Jerez this year when he was leading the race in the wet, we were sure he was going to win before he came off!

For me, he was the brightest and best thing in the Moto GP for years and it won't be the same without him. He was a future champion and would have only improved on the 1000cc bike next year

RIP Marco..............

Matt

Yes, very touching, never realised they were close friends, The sport really has taken a hit, pedrosa and casey just don't have that spark that marco had

Yeah, its lost a talent and a personality, a racer with a true racers attitude.

I was at Valencia last year and the place and atmosphere was amazing, just wish I could make it this year :sad1:
