RIP Marco Simoncelli. This particularly saddening after last weekend's fine second place on the podium at the Australian GP ( Phillip Island).

Not been able to catch much MotoGP action since I first developed an interest in MotoGP and so the riders are still unfamiliar to me, though I can recall their names, but this comes as a massive and upsetting shock.
I switched on to the coverage expecting to find the last few laps of the race to try and make up for lost time and was greeted by the news of the accident though I knew nothing of the events. But I felt in my heart it wasn't good when I heard his helmet came of and he collected Ben Edwards and another rider.
Yet the sad thing is theirs no mention of it at all in any news reports on the BBC News Channel or on SkyNews except for tickertapes.

Cant quite belive it. Was watching the race live on the BBC as normally record and watch later and the commentators were just talking about his tyre choice saying he would have to be careful for the first couple of laps then this happens. Was sickening to see him lying in the track minus helmet. Seemed a freak accident in that low siders normally see the bike slide to the outside of the track and here the bike just kept turning right. Edwards and Rossi had no where to go.
A tragic loss of a real if controversial talent
RIP Marco. Condolences to family and friends.
