[SIZE=-2]Tuesday, November 01, 2011[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]A planned moment of silence at the Valencia Grand Prix this weekend may be changed to a ceremony more fitting a fierce racer.
MotoGP planned a moment of silence to honor the memory of recently killed MotoGP rider Marco Simoncelli.
Simoncelli's father, Paolo, requested something more in line with what "Super Sic" would appreciate.
The elder Simoncelli suggested instead that all of the bikes of MotoGP be throttle whipped for one minute, that this was something his son would appreciate.
Given the festive atmosphere at Valencia, and the popularity of throttle whipping streetbikes downtown, there's little chance that the race bikes will sing alone.

The "minute of noise" memorial is going global.

At 10:30 AM your local time, riders are suggested to rev their motors for 58 seconds in memory of Marco. I will.

The Tribute at Valencia was nicely done. I loved seeing all the bikes do the lap around the circuit.

Kevin's write up was spot on.

MotoGP has put a really nice tribute to Marco in their iTunes podcast stream. Do a search for "After the Flag".

Ive never met you either, but now that Marco's gone........ you're my new hero, man.

When you die, people will even find nice things to say about you.

Pretty crazy huh?

 

[mmmnaked]

Hopefully they won't make t-shirts to cash in on my death.

 

[fastar1]

Hopefully they won't make t-shirts to cash in on my death.

Don't know why that should bother you, but don't let it. You'll be banned before you reach that level of notoriety.

 

[Wingboy]

T-shirts at my service....cool!

 

[SunnY S]

Although its 2 days early from the official anniversary.

thought of him today, cos I used to look forward to Sundays with Marco.

In my eyes, MotoGP 2012 wasn't the same without you.

Gone, but not forgotten.
