Re: r.i.p marco simoncelli
Yeah, one article said that he died, but then it was taken down. Another one says he suffered cardiac arrest, and another is saying he is in critical condition.
Here is the crash for those who want to see it...
If that's not allowed, JLV can remove it.

Re: r.i.p marco simoncelli
Triple post...but sadly BBC is reporting that he has died. Link
Marco Simoncelli has died after a horrific crash at the Malaysian MotoGP in Sepang.
The race was cancelled after four minutes when Honda rider Simoncelli fell and was hit by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi as he slid across the track.
The 24-year-old had his helmet knocked off in the accident and the race was immediately red-flagged.

Man, that is absolutely sickening. I thought his head was ripped off at first. That is just terrible. RIP Simoncelli

That's just horrible, one of the greatest new talents to come up to that class. RIP Marco

Re: r.i.p marco simoncelli
God this is freaking retarded. First I go to the Indy Car race in Vegas, my first ever Indy Car race, and there is a massive 15 car accident and someone dies. Then tonight, I freaking turn on MotoGP a little late, and then freaking thirty seconds later there is a three person crash and someone dies!!! I'm like a bad omen or something man.
What the hell is going on in motorsports? I mean, I don't want this stuff to be in my head when I'm at the track! I mean, I've already had five concussions, but those are just concussions!

Re: r.i.p marco simoncelli
Here's another article and some other footage that shows how he ended up in that position before getting hit. Absolute freak accident.

RIP Marco Simoncelli
I hope they can find what went wrong, because it looks like he already passed out before he got hit.

Re: r.i.p marco simoncelli
Simoncelli was fighting for fourth with Alvaro Bautista when he lost the front of his bike and slid across the circuit, into the path of Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi, both of whom appeared to hit the Honda. It really tears a hole in your heart when people so talented a young die at such a young age. My i heart goes out to all his family and friends <3 R.I.P
