Simoncelli. MotoGP. DEAD!!!
- Thread starter SunnY S
- Start date
Just saw a photo of Rossi afterwards....... So sad to see, such pain and heartbreak in his face. They were great friends from all accounts.
Here's a pic from the first time I met Marco (he went on to win the 2008 250cc Championship that year)
It's one of my fave MotoGP rider photos, even before this incident.
Thanks Super Sic for the awesome memory

Rest In Peace Marco Simoncelli. He was the best rider to watch at the track. always rooted for him
Terrible news and a tragic end to a man who had so much of a bright racing future ahead of him.

This was Very tragic , even in slow motion on youtube it was a devestating impact to the back of the entire body from Colin and Rossi.
It doesnt matter what kind of helmet it was, or even that it came off, the neck cant take that.http://www.motogp.com/en/videos/2011/Race+Direction+press+conference+Marco+Simoncelli

Because of the crash he had during the race, in which he was hit by other riders, he suffered a very serious trauma to the head, to the neck and the chest. When our medical staff got to him he was unconscious. In the ambulance because there was a cardiac arrest they started CPR (cardiac pulmonary resuscitation). Immediately in the Medical Centre, with the help also of the Doctor of our staff at the Clinica Mobile and local Doctors, he was intubated and it was possible to take off some blood from the thorax. The CPR was continued for 45 minutes because we tried to help him for as long as we thought it was possible. Unfortunately it was not possible to help him and at 16:56 (local time) we had to declare he was dead.”

so young, so sad.....rip
Such a shame he was such an exciting racer to watch, you could tell he had a true passion for motogp. Don't even want to think what's going through colins and rossi's heads right now. Probably going to effect them for a long time. Just watching that during the race was tough, couldn't imagine actually being part of it. Rip Marco.

I wonder if he he actually passed out before he got hit? He was practically kissing his front tire and would have known better to cut across other riders. I say he wasn't conscious before he was brutaly ran over. I hope he didn't feel anything.
