Sickening and terrible to see this in motorsport.

Be warned, some graphic footage in the video component.

RIP Marco, our thoughts are with your family.

I'm shocked, RIP Marco.

Absolutely shattered about this, i was a big fan of his. RIP Marco

Devastating, he seemed like such a nice bloke.
A bleak reminder that even though things are much safer in motor racing, it won't ever actually be safe.

We were sitting around Saturday arvo having a few after the mornings ride and discussing Dan Wheldons fatal crash at IndyCar, you know how those conversations go, 'it's tragic, but they all acceptt the risks blah, blah, blah'.
It never softens the blow when it happens. Somehow, I think this will have a profound effect on Rossi.
Here's a couple of snaps a mate took who was at the GP the other week. Horrible news.

That whole coverage was just shattering. Great guy and will be sorely missed by all MotoGP fans.

Stunned!!... I was only saying during the PI race that this young man would be a force to reckon with in time. Unfortunately not so now.

RIP
