serious_accident_for_marco_simoncelli_stops_malaysian_motogp.html
Very sad day ... we were just watching it & it went from ... he is conscious , to race cancelled to he has died ... unbelievable RIP a fantastic promising rider.
Thoughts to Colin Edwards who has dislocated his shoulder in the same incident too, and of course to his family
Marco Simoncelli has died after a horrific crash at the Malaysian MotoGP in Sepang.
The race was cancelled after four minutes when Honda rider Simoncelli fell and was hit by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi as he slid across the track.
The 24-year-old had his helmet knocked off in the accident and the race was immediately red-flagged.
Honda rider Simoncelli first entered MotoGP for the 2010 season.
He won his first pole position at the Catalunya race in June this year.
The accident happened at Turn 11 when Simoncelli's bike veered across the track into the path of Edwards and Rossi.
Simoncelli, who was motionless on the track after the impact, had been fourth at the end of lap one after qualifying in fifth.
Edwards also fell but escaped serious injury, while Rossi, on a Ducati, was able to return to the pits.
World champion Casey Stoner said: "As soon as I saw the footage it just makes you sick inside. Whenever the helmet comes off that's not a good sign."
Same here Kaz. MotoGp has lost a very talented rider. Love him or hate him, he was a character that stirred things up. Sideshow Bob will be missed. Thoughts go out to his family.
Thoughts also to Colin Edwards & Valentino.
Totally agree Stella... I can't imagine what Colin Edwards and Valentino must be going through... Oh My God, such a sad sad day for MotoGP
Thoughts go out Marco's family and friends, R.I.P Marco Simoncelli
She knew bless her, I was cursing the camera for intruding on her pain. Poor lass. Edwards looked like he was trying to get to him - poor bloke, he must have known. No way that was survivable imho.
Sad times for motorsport, coming so soon on the heels of the death of Dan Wheldon last weekend - thought to his family and loved ones and also to Rossi & Edwards who could do nothing to avoid the accident.
The slow motion replays that are popping up on various sites don't do the real speeds of this accident justice, just a horrifying accident with a tragic conclusion.
