Marco Simoncelli, 1987-2011

    OMG! What happened? Gotta go to MotoMatters and find out.

  • The tragic news has made getting to the site very difficult due to all the traffic. Marco lost his life in Malaysia when he crashed in front of Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi, both of who had no chance to avoid hitting the downed rider. The race was topped immediately, and after fighting for his life in the medical center, Marco passed away some time afterward.

    Ciao Scott,
    thanks for remembering Marco with your pictures in your site.
    Grazie amico, Marco was a good rider and above all a nice person, always available and we never forget his smile.
    R.I.P. Super Sic.

    Marco was one of your best subjects to photograph on and off the track and my favorite rider to cheer for. What a tragedy.

    What a loss. He will be missed…

  • Thanks, Andrea.

    Your photos of Marco are some of the most beautiful I’ve seen, vibrant and and sparkling as the man himself.
