There's some slo-mo clips on youtube and it looks horrific.
Hope he gets better.

Looks terrible, his helmet came off when another riders bike landed on him, 3 bikes involved.

Just heard he has died.
Was watching it with my 3 year old daughter. She kept asking if he was OK.

That's just terrible, thoughts go out to his family for sure..
For those that watched it as it happened, was that his GF/wife that the camera cut to immediatly after the crash? She was in floods of tears, was only for a second or two but heartbreaking to watch, especially if it was Marco's significant other

Very sad news about Marco Simoncelli, a real character and a breath of fresh air always a source of amazement to the crowd and commentators. All sympathies to his friends and family, bless him.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
