Very bad week for Motorsport-- RIP Marco Simoncelli

[Gus is god]

MOTOGP:Malaysian GP cancelled - Marco Simoncelli in critical condition after crash

Probs one of the worst crashes i have seen in Motorbikes

Never a good sign when the helmet comes off in the accident. I hope he will recover.

 

[readingstockport]

Come on Simo, Moto GP needs you too much.

 

[Chinster]

Gutted! i can't believe in this day and age a helmet from a professional racer can just come off like that. Just hope he pulls through.....

 

[readingstockport]

Chinster, Edwards did hit him at about 100 + mph.

Horrific incident. Truely horrifying, especially for those of us who ride motorcycles day in day out.

Ride safe all of you out there brothers.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Oh my - I really like Simo too! I sooooo hope he pulls through...

I dont think it was just like that, Colin Edwards bike looks like he rips it off, the worst thing was his heading just skidding along the track.

I just seen it again and it gets worst every time

yep its not nice at all, i dont think it was Edwards that took the helmet looked like the other rider

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Thanks for the response guys. I think I'll wait to see it (if at all) until after the next critical 24 hrs. I feared he might've been hit by another rider & I wish I'd been completely wrong.

Come on Simo, stay with us.

 

[readingstockport]

No, it wasn't Rossi. it was Colin and I think he's said as much.
