was watching it. its bad when your lid comes off, and then he was laying on the track lifeless, hope he pulls through.

looked like Edwards hit him full on but Rossi caught him 2, those 2 had nowhere to go, just a bad racing accident.

True. Some think Rossi may retire over this. I think the same for Edwards.

R.I.P dude,  cant really say much more apart from MotoGp is going to be boring from now on. A real sad loss to our sport.


Edwards had his own team sorted for next year using Ford engines and I think Honda chassis

I was so shocked when I read it online this morning. Really liked Marco and he was one to watch out for in a few years time. RIP

I loved the way Marco rode/peed other riders off and didn't give a fluff. Definitely would have been a future motogp champ for sure. R.I.P Super Sic  :cry:

Also gutted for Edwards/Rossi. Have a feeling they both may hang up there leathers after this  :cry:

Thoughts go out to there families and friends

just seen a vid from the on board camera from the bike behind him, he just lent the bike over too much and lost balance. He still had hold of the bike which made it turn across the track and into Rossi and Edwards path  :cry:

RIP to a rising star

It was actually the front tyre which lost grip and slid out, then started gripping again whilst he was trying to use his leg to stand it back up. Either way, he had ~170kg resting on his leg, so wasn't able to go anywhere. It's just a shame the front gripped again, otherwise he would have slid off in to the kitty litter. :sad:

Edit: Weight correction to include fuel as it was lap 2.

ah makes sense, just so unfortunate to have two other bikes plough into him  :sad:

400kg? Not even a road bike weighs that much. Try 150kg  :smiley:
