R.I.P. Marco, and deepest sympathy to Colin Edwards, Valentino Rossi and all his family and friends.

Didn't see the accident in full, just clicked onto BBC as the medics were treating him and totally stunned when I caught up with the news, totally totally stunned.

The grid will be a much less entertaining place without you there big man, you had character, you had soul and most of all passion. RIP Big man

He died at the top of his game doing what he loved. There's no finer way to go. But such a shame. I also feel very sorry for Edwards and Rossi who must be feelong terrible. RIP senjor! You were an inspiration!

Horrendous collision. I hope he felt no pain. RIP Marco.

Dad asked me if there was any news when I was sitting upstairs watching Moto2 on Eurosport and I knew that because he'd actually come to ask it must have been bad. I always watch Eurosport where possible and heard Toby Moody's announcement. Saw the footage after that and it is horrific.

Agree with lots of the comments above. A tragic loss of a young, true racer who was a breath of fresh air and my thoughts are with his family, friends and collegues.

RIP Marco
