Sad day for Motogp fans
Heard the news this morning, was in shock R.I.P Marco
"R.I.P Marco Simoncelli, 20 January 1987 - 23 October 2011. Too young, too talented; a sad loss." http://www.themotorreport.com.au/527...lled-at-sepang |

I didn't see the race but saw the mutiples condonlences on my FB to SuperSIC. What was he doing before the crash? The frame before that looks like he is trying to save it and just happened to be moving towards the race line not giving Edwards enough time to react.
RIP and man the impact from Edwards was so bad that it knocked his helmet off.  Here is the vid, careful since it's a bit gnarly. [u2b]0v6zfisgAQI[/u2b]

That's crazy. The helmet was off when he crashed. He was doing good this season, sad to see him leave us, MotoGP fans, this way.
