Title: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 09:15:38 A terrible week for Motorsport
R.I.P Marco http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motogp/15420069.stm Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 09:29:07 Absolutely horrible :(
The guy had so much talent, there's no doubting he would've been world champion in the future. RIP Super Sic. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 09:31:21 He had a rough start to the season but his recent races showed his true promise. A champion in the making.
He might have stirred things up a but with other riders, but he was one hell of a character, one that will be missed. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 09:55:13 Devastating news, Marco was a real character in a sport which is severely lacking at the moment.
Have no doubt that he was a champion of the future. A very sad day. RIP Marco Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Bennett on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 09:56:39 when you've got dislikeable pricks like pedrosa and lorenzo in a sport someone with character like Sic was a breath of fresh air. RIP Marco
Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Batch on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 10:30:52 RIP.
Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 12:03:15 I'm at work and just heard
Such terrible news RIP Marco Days like this I hate it that my other halfs a biker :( Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: thedarkprince on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 12:12:47 Nasty looking accident but completely unavoidable. Let's hope there's no over-reaction about this though.
Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Batch on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 16:48:44 I don't know much about Moto GP, but did his helmet come of as a result of being hit or before? Not sure how that happens or if it was a contributor to his death.
Horrible though, no way it could be avoided :( Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 16:49:56 I don't know much about Moto GP, but did his helmet come of as a result of being hit or before? Not sure how that happens or if it was a contributor to his death. Horrible though, no way it could be avoided :( As far as i could tell it was when Edwards hit Simmo, his helmet came off. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Batch on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 16:56:24 Oh right, I guess there isn't much you can do to stop that in those circumstances.
Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 17:44:54 My other half was just saying one of the GP commentators has a gut feeling Rossi will retire now as he was close friends with Marco and he doesn't know how he will cope with him being involved in the crash etc?
Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 18:42:22 My other half was just saying one of the GP commentators has a gut feeling Rossi will retire now as he was close friends with Marco and he doesn't know how he will cope with him being involved in the crash etc? I dont think he will, I believe he is mentally strong enough to carry on. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 18:52:46 Would be a shame if he did - hope he doesnt make a rash descion
Just saw some photos of the crash but wish I hadn't :( Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: stfcinbmth on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 19:09:44 Just saw some photos of the crash but wish I hadn't :( Don't think I'll bother looking. RIP Marco Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: tans on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 19:18:54 Just seen it, nasty stuff
Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Chubbs on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 19:19:12 Would be a shame if he did - hope he doesnt make a rash descion Just saw some photos of the crash but wish I hadn't :( It wasn't pleasant viewing. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 19:34:40 Rossi is contracted to Ducati for next season. Can't see him calling it a day just yet.
Can't begin to imagine how Colin Edwards must be feeling right now. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Crispy on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 21:29:56 Rossi carried on after Ollie Bridewell died, granted they wern't as close as Rossi and Simmo but they were still good friends.
As mentioned totally unavoidable but still devastating none the less, do feel for Colin Edwards as well. RIP Simmo. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: london_red on Sunday, October 23, 2011, 22:30:47 Don't think I'll bother looking. RIP Marco This and this. Terrible accident, RIP Marco. Title: Re: Marco Simoncelli Post by: Bennett on Monday, October 24, 2011, 06:36:49 given how far behind the Ducati is and one of his biggest fans and mates has been killed i really wouldn't be surprised if Rossi retired.
