RIP Marco Simoncelli

Those who know me know my love of all things Valentino Rossi and MotoGP. The events this morning in Sepang have upset me greatly.

Today has been such a tragic day in the MotoGP paddock. The effervescent Marco Simoncelli had a shocking and freak accident on the second lap of the Malaysian grand prix. Edwards and Rossi simply had nowhere to go when he fell in their path. Although I know they will blame themselves, there was absolutely nothing they could do to avoid him.

My heart goes out to his family, friends and everyone involved in MotoGP and bike racing.

Too, too sad.

Go well and godspeed, Super Sic 58, you will be missed dreadfully. RIP.
