Marco Simoncelli

Well, as you probably know, we follow Moto GP religiously. My favorite rider, Marco Simoncelli, was killed in the 2nd lap of the race today in Malaysia. He was 24 years young. His helmet came off in the crash. He died from head, neck, and chest injuries. The video footage of the wreck is sickening. I couldn't imagine being his family and girlfriend which witnessed the crash, much less Edwards and Rossi which ended up running over him. Simoncelli lost control of his bike and steered in front of Edwards and Rossi. They didn't even have time to try to get out of his way. It all happened so quickly. I can't get those images out of my head. You can google Marco Simoncelli fatal crash video to view it. Makes you think about how quickly life can change in the blink of an eye and it is completely out of our control.

RIP Marco Simoncelli
