Even my Wife is gutted!! She didn't let on but she'd been secretly been following Marco whilst I'd been watching over the year.

She was well happy when he got second last weekend.

Such a shame. You could sense he was on to something great.

RIP
I didn't watch it during the race, I caught the clip on line. Gob smacked at it,my heart was in my mouth watching it waiting for the inevitable.

Me too. Wasn't good at all. May have been slightly easier on the stomach if I hadn't seen the lid missing.

Very sad.

RIP 2 "racers" in the last week.. shame ..

Thought to families etc ..

I know it is a dangerous sport and you expect it and go into it knowing the possibilities.. but it seemed such a nothing "off" initially then it hit you what was happening in front of your eyes with the bikes behind and his helmet off. Thought to Rossi and Edwards too
