Anyone would like to share a thought about Marco?

I'm not sure if most of you is aware of the fact but yesterday during the Malaysian GP, one fantastic, young, italian rider lost his life doing what he loved to do, riding hard.

RIP Super Sic, you'll miss a lot.

I'm a bit shocked since yesterday and I hoped someone other liked to start the thread here in the modeling community, feel free to leave the words you feel.

ciao Marco.

I would like to remember him through this picture Valentino posted in his tw. profile

I'm not an avid follower of MotoGP, but I know enough of his impact earlier in the season and how he was ruffling some feathers. That photo does a really good job of summing it all up...

Very sad to see both Wheldon and Simoncelli leave us in a weeks time. Horrible time for motorsports. RIP Super Sic

Moto GP and the world has lost a wonderful character... I felt physically sick watching the race yesterday and still can't believe he's gone. He had a great 2nd the weekend before at Phillip Island and now....RIP Super Sic

It still seems like a bad dream - I am a big fan of Marco and I'm extremely sad that he was taken away from us so soon.

Re: Anyone would like to share a thought about Marco?

I'm looking almost every motorsport race possible, including the complette MotoGP program since years. It's really hard to see such a big accident even on the TV. In the moment of the accident i screamed so loud that my familiy came scared to me to ask what's happened. It was very brutal! RIP Marco!

Marco was one one of the few inspirational riders currently participating in MotoGP - he will be sadly missed by both his competitors and his fans. RIP Marco - John

Re: Anyone would like to share a thought about Marco?



I was, am and will be a Rossi fan forever. But every Rossi fan was also a fan of Simoncelli. Same caracter, same driving skills, same racers heart and they both have a real winners mentality. I`m a grown man who never met Marco in real live but i started to cry when i was watching motogp last sunday.
Super Sic, motogp will never be the same without you.

R.i.p. Marco

Always pushing!

Re: Anyone would like to share a thought about Marco?

I agree - huge Rossi fan (for life) and to many Super Sic was his 'replacement' after Vale retired. The sport craves characters just like him, flamboyant, likeable, fast and talented. Such a massive loss to the sport.

I was fortunate to see him at Silverstone this year - he was brilliant on stage on the friday evening, such a funny guy and great with the crowd. He got the biggest cheer aside from Vale that day, such was his popularity . I'll never forget the guys who pitched up in the grandstand opposite his pitbox during quali on Saturday - they all had afro wigs on, cheered and chanted his name until he came out of his pit to acknowledge them and wave at the crowd.

I can't believe he's gone.

I'll never forget him. Ciao Marco. A racers racer.
