Speechless

R.I.P

[Anna]

I didn't wake up for the race I had quite a long night with friends and I woke up to hear it. I love Marco and its just so unreal to me right now that we'll never see him race again, we'll never see that hair. After the year he's had, all the harshness directed at him its such a horrible thing to happen (its horrible anyway but you know what I mean).

RIP Marco

MotoGP press release plus it has a link to send in your condolences.

[Lucius]

Such sad and horrible news, half the time he didn't get the praise or respect he deserved and he was a champion in waiting. The last few years have been hard on Motorsport. Too young and had too much to give.

RIP Super Sic

Absolutely devastated to get this news. I saw the crash live, and as soon as they said the force was such his helmet had come off, I just had this feeling he was gone. Was one of MotoGP's brightest young stars, and had a lot more to give.

Thoughts must also go out to Colin and Valentino, absolutely no fault of their own but how devastated must they be feeling right now.

RIP Marco. You'll be sorely missed.

[Psycho Seal]

I can't believe he's gone. He's Marco, the Hair.. Really going to miss him just as he was getting on top of the bike and looking like the world champion he was going to be. R.I.P Marco

[Pete]

Felt really sick after hearing the news. He's got such a brilliant personality that it is hard to imagine he's gone. He was a champion and a great guy, makes comments at the beginning of the year very haunting. RIP Marco.

Also my heart goes out to Vale who must be struggling Sic was like his family.

Beautiful tribute



Hope dorna don't remove it

[Anna]

That is a lovely tribute love the music as well. Still feels so strange.

[r1ch91]

Can't believe they dropped him on the stretcher in front of his father that's bad

[Amanda]

That is a wonderful tribute, I've tried not to be sad and miserable about it because Sic was the kind of person who would have wanted to be remembered in a cheerful way like that tribute.

He was a wonderful talent, ok he was messy but he was cleaning up and he'd have gotten there no doubt. The sport can be so cruel. RIP Marco.

And Rich I know, it was horrible if anything MotoGP need to think of what happens in big accidents, that ambulance should have been on the circuit not behind a barrier, it was sad seeing Marco's dad trying to help them get his sons body into the ambulance.
