What can I say? How tragic. My thoughts are with the whole Moto GP family at this time.
He died doing what he loved.
Hope they have MotoGP bikes for you in heaven Simmo.
 
I'm struggling to take this in - he was on the podium a couple of weeks ago.. I watched the race this morning and I had a sick feeling in my stomache but when Matt Roberts reported he'd gained consciousness I thought he might have got away with it.

He was so talented and was going to have such a bright future. My thought are with his family and the whole of Moto GP.

RIP Marco
 
Its awful that he died in that way, i know he was doing what he loved but still.
Dan Wheldon last week, him this week, so so sad. I watched both and the feeling of dread is horrid.
I hope both are now resting in peace.
 
Just awful, awful - he was such a character, I remember listening to his radio show when I was in Italy, he was sooo funny. One of the most genuine, charismatic people ever :(

Thoughts with his family, RIP SuperSic xxx
 
Watched it live on BBC as had to go to dressage so couldn't wait for my usual Euro Sport guys and wished i hadn't.
I set off after they announced he had regained consciousness and prayed he would be ok but got home to this news.
So young and so talented, very very sad.
 
He would have made world champion at some point...some rider, fearless and feared by some.
RIP Marco....
My thoughts go out to his family, friends and the Motogp world...
 
I just found out on the news :'(
I don't know much about racing, but my Dad has a motorbike and often gets magazines. I saw him on the front and noticed his nickname was Sideshow Bob! I decided that he'd be my favourite driver from then on, because of his hair, fun nickname and obvious charm...

I didn't know of him for long, but this really really hit me hard :'( R.I.P
 
Watch all the bike racing and this was tragic...so talented and on the way up. RIP Marco. Thoughts go out t his family and friends and the MotoGP community.
 
Very sad news.
What a horrible, horrible crash. Seeing the helmet go bouncing up the road turned my stomach :(
He was such a character, and motor racing paddocks are sadly lacking in these type of personalities these days. He will be sorely missed.
RIP Marco
 
So so very sad. We have become used to watching these brave men fall off slide along and get back up with at worst some broken bones. This is so shocking and unexpected that it has completely rocked the MotoGP and bike racing world. Life is so fragile, so delicate and so precious. Rest in peace Marco, you will remain immortal in racing history.
 
What a massive loss to the sport, such a huge a huge character for the sport to lose. No doubt he would have been a champion. The world is such an unfair place at times. My thoughts are with everyone involved in this awful time x

Absolutely. On any other day that's exactly what he would have done. Lowsiding is IMO the least dangerous way to get off a bike, but if there are two other ones up your chuff doing 170mph it's only going to end one way.
So, so sad.
