RIP Marco, thankyou for the joy you gave, in the short time you had.
To stop, or not to stop, that is the question ;0)

Pitley, sad to say I think that this tragic incident might be the last straw that breaks Rossis back.

A talent lost, after watching the weekend before the Phillip Island GP, Marco's podium finish shows just how good he was on his Honda amongst the factory bikes.
RIP Simo.

Marco was on a full factory Honda. Just a different team.

It may well have been a top Honda but a top rider has been lost through cruel luck. I think from what I have heard and read Marcos dad new it was bad news as soon as the impact happened. His comments "ciao Marco" were made as the stretcher was passed over the trackside fence.

Very sad for all. A huge loss for Moto GP. We will be back to boring processions now.
