Super Sic, a great talent and excellent person had passed away after getting hit by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.

Rest In Peace, Super Sic! Sad

Terrible news, Rest In Peace Marco.

**[RDSR] Roba** · 2011-10-23, 12:20

Heard this... Great driver, RIP!

Malibu · 2011-10-23, 12:31

Did he die instantly?

Horrible accident, also for the other driver that survived, seems aweful to me to know you have killed another driver by driving into him..

McGherkin · 2011-10-23, 12:34

Looks like it was instant. If it was enough to rip his helmet off, there'll be either significant head trauma, a snapped neck, or both. I don't think Marco would have suffered for long, if at all.

He had bigger helmet because of his hair. Sad

Taken from Wikepedia:
'Simoncelli was involved in an accident with Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi during the 2011 Malaysian GP at the Sepang International Circuit. In fourth position during lap two, Simoncelli's bike veered across the track and straight into the path of Edwards and Rossi. Edwards was injured with a dislocated shoulder, while Simoncelli lay still on the track after the crash, his helmet having come off during the incident. The race was immediately red-flagged. He was taken by ambulance to the circuit's medical centre, but at 16:56 local time it was announced that he had died from his injuries.[13][14][15] Later, at a press conference involving members of the MotoGP Race Direction, Medical Director Michele Macchiagodena said that Simoncelli sustained "a very serious trauma to the head, to the neck and the chest", and was administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation for 45 minutes.'

No chance

**[TC] Viper** · 2011-10-23, 14:51

Words cant express how gutted i truly am... Crying

Watch him every weekend, he was aa strong future championship contender.
He was only 24 years old... so gutted Sad

My thoughts go to Simoncelli's family and team, aswell as Edwards and Rossi.
Rossi and Simoncelli have know each other since they were kids and were really close friends.

Ride In Peace - Marco Simoncelli
