MOTOGP's Marco Simoncelli dies after crash in Sepang
*There are videos on the web if you care to view.
Link: BBC Sport - Marco Simoncelli dies after crash in Sepang
Born: 20 January 1987, Cattolica, Italy
Italian rider Marco Simoncelli has died after a horrific crash at the Malaysian MotoGP in Sepang.
The race was stopped after four minutes when Simoncelli's bike veered across the track at turn 11 into the path of Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.
The 24-year-old had his helmet knocked off and was hit by both other riders.
American rider Edwards also fell but escaped serious injury - while fellow Italian Rossi was able to return to the pits.
Simoncelli lay motionless on the track after the impact, while the race was immediately red-flagged.
Loved to watch him mix it up...RIP young brother, RIP.

Horrible news. He was a rider you could really like.
It's amazing that, given what these riders do, this was the first fatal accident at that level since Dajiro. It speaks volumes about their skill and the advances in bike safety technology through the years.
Thoughts go out to his friends and fam. Especially Vale, he has to be tore up.--> Joe C. <--
