Thoughts & prayers go out to him.
That was an absolutely horrific crash. Good decision to stop the race.
Hope he's ok. It was mentioned on tele as well, but it's never a good situation when a riders helmet comes off.

R.I.P Marco Simoncelli such a loss a truly sad day :(
Terrible :(
He was destined for greatness, my favourite rider of the current crop and a massive loss to Motorsport.
RIP and thoughts are with family, friends and fans the world over
It has to be one of the most horrific incidents I've seen in racing.... I hope the other 2 riders involved are ok, both physically and mentally
Sleep well Marco and god speed x
RIP Marco

Before reading that I was feeling the same, maybe Rossi will retire?
For anyone that has seen Fastest that was released this year theres a bit between Kevin schwantz and Wayne Rainey where Wayne says to him you don't appear to be enjoying it any more. With Raineys accident that left him in a wheel chair, it helped Kevin decide on retiring.
Rossi and Sic were pretty close weren't they? Racers understand the risk put being in the thick of it and directly involved is completely different.
Thoughts go out to both Edwards and Rossi almost god knows how they must be feeling know.
very sad,thoughts are with his family,rip
R.I.P Marco
Absolutely awful to watch.....the sight of his rolling helmet will stay with me for a long time......I feel for those who were there and involved...... especially his immediate friends and family......a sad day for so many........RIP MARCO
Marco Simoncelli was a true racer, he was always thrilling to watch, a real character.
He is a huge loss, rest in peace Marco.
Had Sky+ it to watch it later, when I went home for lunch I just deleted the race :(
I really do think he would have grown into a top class rider, he wasn't scared to make a move :)
Massive sympathy to his family, friends and crew. :(
Very saddened by this, Makes you think why the hell do I ride a motorcycle :( :(
Best wishes to his family etc
RIP #58

R.I.P Marco

R.I.P Marco, made me feel qiuite sick to watch it. My prayers go out to his family, friends, team and also to Edwards and Rossi.

Only just heard this news - been at work all day!
Devastated - my thoughts are with his family & friends!

I'm a bit disgusted that the 6pm BBC news sports headlines only consisted of football scores and rugby scores. No mention of this.
