RIP.
And I hate to even comment on the video of the crash, but it was just wierd. As the bike veered across it almost looked like Marco was already knocked out but hanging way off the right side, as if being dragged.
I thought of this thread when I heard the news today. RIP Simoncelli.
Italian rider Simoncelli killed in Malaysian MotoGP crash - CNN.com
that's what I thought also. there's some still pics and also slo-mo video on some sites. reports also that his bike lost then gained traction, causing it to head back into the corner instead of fall to the outside as they usually do. just a weird freak accident. his mother, father and girlfriend were all there at the track
i dont even know what to say.... i havent been able to watch moto gp all season so i was clueless up until now.... i cant imagine how the world of motor-sports is hurting right now, let alone Edwards, Rossi and Simoncelli's family.
I'm still so confused on why he didnt play it safe and bail from the low-side...godspeed simoncelli...and i wish everyone a speedy recovery.
Is it just me, or does that looking like f*ing fun!!
