He was racing right to the end, still hanging on rather than just letting it go. Nobody can take that away from him.
Awful stuff, I hope that Edwards and Rossi are OK. There was nothing that they could do, but I doubt that makes them feel better. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

It's a very sad loss, the guy was excellent and i'm sure was destined for better things next year.
RIP Simmo
by the way, for quicker updates twitter was the place to be, signup and search motogp and start adding people. It's got commentators, teams, riders etc. Although at the moment none of it makes nice reading, but this updates well before any of the media outlets have stories. ____________________ Current Bikes: Honda CBR 600RR - '07, Suzuki GSX1250 FA ST '11

Was there any real reason to dislike the guy? One hell of a character and a proper racer going to miss the guy loads.  ____________________ Current: 02 FZS 1000 & 91 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Some Bike Pics...

RIP MS58
Very sad news
Went out for an early morning cycle and was planning to watch the GP when I got home, but received text messages informing me of the news before I got back.
I watched the race anyway but it was terrible watching Simo on the grid knowing it would be his last race. Then watching the first few laps basically waiting for him to die.
I've seen this quoted on another forum-
”Aren't you scared you might die in an accident?”
”No. You live more for 5 minutes going fast on a bike like that, than other people do in all of their life." [Marco Simoncelli]
I can't find an official source though so I'm unsure if that is something he said, I hope it is though. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

Does anyone fancy a meet at The Ace cafe this afternoon for a memorial drink?
I cried when I read about it. Never met the guy, but such a loveable character and a true racer. ____________________ Yamaha RXS 100 > Honda CD 250 > Honda Hornet 600 > Honda CBR 600RR > Yamaha RXS 100 > Kawasaki ZX6R J2 > Yamaha FZ1 |
