I expect the first question will be, how did his helmet come off??
Virtual pegs down.
I used to not give a foc, then I discovered Red Bull and now I don't give a flying foc !!!

Terrible, terrible news, I thought he was putting the fun back into an otherwise pretty dull motogp season. I went to the qualifying session at Silverstone this year and became a fan of his, seemed like his was a good guy.
A sad end to a very bad week for motoracing.
Onwards and Upwards

I am absolutely heart broken - he was the future of the sport with so much talent and heart he made everyone else look bland. A massive loss to the sport

Thoughts are with his family and friends, gutted.

RIP Marco , you were a breath of fresh air in Moto GP , my condolences to friends & family

Absolutely tragic.
Don't want to imagine how Rossi and Edwards must be feeling.

R.I.P Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011
i just watched the crash again on youtube (this isnt it by the way) i cant understand why he came from the direction that he did. i can only hope he was knocked out straight away when edwards hit him. edwards and rossi had nowhere to go at all,im sure thats no consolation to them though

So tragic
A great loss to motogp. Poor Rossi and Colin Edwards, they must be devastated.

It is a sad loss.
Wondering if his flambyant BIG hairstyle may be contrubutry to his helmet coming off? Quite possibley. Had he had a shorter cut I think the size of the lid would be considerabley smaller. I can speak from experience as I once had hair like Hendrix but knowhere near as big as Simonchelli's. I got it cut as my helmet always felt loose and was very easy to move on my head. After the haircut the helmet was way too big and I had to buy a new one. I'm not saying this was the cause but I don't think it helped. The velocity and forces in an accident like that are huge and would have played a big part too. There are also other internal injuries to consider. Only post mortem can determine in more detail what he died of. P.I.P. Marco
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad
