Shameful. Though having seen this, it makes be very glad that the fans in Las Vegas last week were so well-behaved and understanding.

Well, they had no idea of what was going on-

Maybe but come on. Even if the ticket cost 1 year of salary it is not a reason to do that. And I'm sure they knew what was going on. Some people have got phones with internet so they could check and probably an announcement was made on the circuit. Shame on them. Hope we never go back to this track !

Poor Marco, I hope you have a better life up there, our world is just made of pain, stupidity and disrespect.

They must have known there was a serious accident though.

Any real fan knows how bad a situation must be if they don't restart the race

RIP Marco.

Here's a great picture of that overtake.

"Ho deciso che ti ricorderò con un sorriso, con quel sorriso che avevi sempre. Ti ricorderò con quell'esclamazione che ho avuto oggi quando ti ho visto prima di partire con quel coso giallo in testa e gli occhiali da sole, ho detto "minchia sic, fortuna che sei simpatico, perchè sei proprio brutto".
Ti ricorderò come quello che a Monza, quando ti ho visto è sceso dalla macchina ha tolto il casco... e incazzato come una iena se n'è andato a piedi dopo aver perso.
Ti ricorderò come "quel bastardo di Sic" che stava diventando un mostro.
Ti ricorderò come l'amico pazzo di Vale, quello del primo mondiale 125 cc, quello che a inizio stagione lo volevano mettere nei casini perchè "era violento".
TI RICORDERO' COME IL CAMPIONE CHE SEI SEMPRE STATO..
SEI UN GRANDE E TI PORTERO' PER SEMPRE NEL MIO CUORE.♥"
[Valentino Rossi]


I'm not in the mood to translate it right now, sorry

Edwards and Rossi would both have seen Simoncelli lose the front end of the bike and they expected him to slide into the gravel on the outside, so both took an inside line. It's unusual for the tyres to grip again after a lowside and even when they do, it mostly results in a highside (see Kenny Roberts Jr. at Paul Ricard 1999) but in this case with the bike almost completely horizontal it slewed across the track and across the seemingly safe line taken by Edwards and Rossi.

If organizers don´t tell why the race was cancelled, that may trigger some protesting against that action.

Spectators in the main grandstand didn´t see the crash so if they lacked information, result is this.

They had nowhere to go... They probably wish they were anywhere else but there.

I wonder how they didn't see the crash as there are giant screens on the track and the replay of the crash was shown several times.

Commentators mentioned how many times they were showing replays of this on the screens around the track

Just come home and thought I'd check to see how Axel Pons was after the moto2 race to find out about this. Really upset always loved watching Simoncelli what a great character. Very Sad RIP Marco.

Non ho parole per descrivere questo momento!!!proprio vero che la vita è infame....beffarda.. fa male sempre a chi nn se lo merita.....è proprio vero che è tutto un'equilibrio sopra la follia.....bè.... MARCO... sono stato li cn te,fino all'ultimo,ho pregato,versato lacrime come continuo a fare,è nn riesco a trovare una risposta!!!cn te credo sia rimasto un pezzo di me,un pezzo d vita,un pezzo d cuore....tutte le nostre avventure,battaglie sin da quando eravamo bimbi...bimbi cn un sogno....bè,oggi mi domando se ne vale ancora la pena.....due anni fa qua dopo il titolo c siamo abbracciati e abbiamo pianto insieme,oggi io piango te,perchè nn t potro riabbracciare..... buffo!sono convinto che te ne sei andato facendo quello che amavi,ma questo nn serve a riempire il vuoto che c hai lasciato!!!sto riflettendo se realmente ne vale la pena,fare sacrifici,rischiare la pelle,dedicare tutta la vita x rimanere un ricordo....sappi pero che se andro avanti x inseguire quel sogno lo farò per te!!!! sarai e rimarrai sempre cn me,e se avro bisogno so che c sarai...nel mio cuore....
cn affetto, MATTIA". Mattia Pasini

Then the reaction was not acceptable.

Thank you for posting drivers' reaction cambridge, really thank you. So sad tho

Seems that Dorna TV didn't show that much respect either.

i'm sorry not to traslate them in english but i feel unconfortable to touch their words and obviously change them in this situation, i know it may sound silly but I feel like it's not right. There's still Google translator for that.

Wow!

I was never a fan of Simoncelli, he was a good rider though.

RIP Marco Simoncelli
