Maybe but come on. Even if the ticket cost 1 year of salary it is not a reason to do that. And I'm sure they knew what was going on. Some people have got phones with internet so they could check and probably an announcement was made on the circuit. Shame on them. Hope we never go back to this track ! Poor Marco, I hope you have a better life up there, our world is just made of pain, stupidity and disrespect.  Marco's girlfriend   Marco's father

Any real fan knows how bad a situation must be if they don't restart the race |

"Ho deciso che ti ricorderò con un sorriso, con quel sorriso che avevi sempre. Ti ricorderò con quell'esclamazione che ho avuto oggi quando ti ho visto prima di partire con quel coso giallo in testa e gli occhiali da sole, ho detto "minchia sic, fortuna che sei simpatico, perchè sei proprio brutto". Ti ricorderò come quello che a Monza, quando ti ho visto è sceso dalla macchina ha tolto il casco... e incazzato come una iena se n'è andato a piedi dopo aver perso. Ti ricorderò come "quel bastardo di Sic" che stava diventando un mostro. Ti ricorderò come l'amico pazzo di Vale, quello del primo mondiale 125 cc, quello che a inizio stagione lo volevano mettere nei casini perchè "era violento". TI RICORDERO' COME IL CAMPIONE CHE SEI SEMPRE STATO.. SEI UN GRANDE E TI PORTERO' PER SEMPRE NEL MIO CUORE.♥" [Valentino Rossi] I'm not in the mood to translate it right now, sorry |

It was just too little too late, but you can really see he tried everything he could, even before Edwards who really didn't see it coming. Poor Marco, I hope he didn't suffer. I don't agree here. Edwards definately saw it coming, you can see clearly that he did EVERYTHING (correct) to avoid poor Marco. Don't forget they're traveling at speeds around 160 kph at that time. First you see him move his knee and he changes his line, changes his focus (target fixation) as you can see Edwards' helmet moves away to the right from where Marco is going. And look at the angle both Edwards and Rossi already have (facing the right side of the track) right before impact with Simoncelli. It's just incredible that this freak accident happened as it happened. Edwards and Rossi would both have seen Simoncelli lose the front end of the bike and they expected him to slide into the gravel on the outside, so both took an inside line. It's unusual for the tyres to grip again after a lowside and even when they do, it mostly results in a highside (see Kenny Roberts Jr. at Paul Ricard 1999) but in this case with the bike almost completely horizontal it slewed across the track and across the seemingly safe line taken by Edwards and Rossi. |

They had nowhere to go... They probably wish they were anywhere else but there. |

Just come home and thought I'd check to see how Axel Pons was after the moto2 race to find out about this. Really upset always loved watching Simoncelli what a great character. Very Sad RIP Marco.

So sad tho i'm sorry not to traslate them in english but i feel unconfortable to touch their words and obviously change them in this situation, i know it may sound silly but I feel like it's not right. There's still Google translator for that. |
