Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011

It is terribly sad that I find myself looking back on the career of yet another young talent cruely snatched from us.

Marco was born in Italy and through his rise to the top of his sport he won the European 125 title (2002), the 250cc World Championship (2008) and was knocking on the door of his first win in Motogp after his pole in Catalunya and 2nd place finish in Australia this year.

 An immensely talented young man who many thought was going to be seen as the new Rossi. Wins and championships were surely not far away.

Now the man from Cattolica with the shock of hair who showed his class time and time again will no longer grace the MotoGP grids.

 As with Dan I can only say, goodby Marco, rest in peace.
