Marco Simoncelli RIP

I was crushed by the news that up and coming Moto GP rider Marco Simoncelli died as a result of a nasty crash at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia this weekend. I had taped the race and didn't have time to watch it. A friend told me about it this morning and I can't believe it. This kid had potential written all over him and was a fearless, if not reckless, rider. I loved watching this kid ride because you never knew if he would finish the race or crash out but you could be guaranteed that he would battle for every position. I won't post video of the crash as it is gruesome but you can find it on youtube.

Rest in Peace 58
