MotoGP rider Marco Simoncelli was involved in a nasty accident this morning and was pronounced dead 30 mins ago. What a horrid week for motor sport.

Very sad news, only 24 years old and a very talented rider.
He died doing what he loved, and will be sadly missed,
my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
R.I.P. Marco.

He was the next Rossi, such a talented and fun guy. Really sad for his family and friends.

I always watch the clips in morbid fascination, that is a truly horrible accident - to see his helmet come off like that, you know there's no chance. RIP, truly tragic

During the week i'm buying my Suzuki GSXR..I'm really shocked.I feel the same emptiness as when Ayrton died.
Ciao Marco.

Very sad news a maverick, genius & champion of the future. Thoughts are with Simo's family as well as Colin Edwards & Valnetino Rossi who will be devastated..........................

I saw the race live, expected him to get up or start moving around, could not believe he was killed but it was a shocking incident.

Massive loss for the sport and tragic for the family and friends. It's just shocking.

Ug, that was horrible to watch, his lifeless body sliding down the track.

RIP Marco, at least it looks like you knew nothing about it.

Shocking and very sad. His family can be proud of the rider that he was, and the grace and humour with which he conducted himself. RIP.

Truly tragic. A brilliant career cut short. There but for the grace of God go these guys;

Sometimes your luck is in and sometimes it isn't, I guess.
