What!?
What!? What happened! Ah, the damn internet in china is so worthless! Seriously though, this is terrible. I thought motorcycle racing was supposed to be dangerous but never life threatening. Recently its seems like there have been a lot of tragedies in the sport. Ugg. Makes me want to quite racing. RIP.

A very sad day indeed.
Don't give up riding or racing, just spare a thought for him and others each time you ride.
These are two pics from his happy time at Phillip Island last week.
This is how i will remember him.

RIP Marco.
He got off to a rough start this season, but had been proving himself to be very charismatic, and talented member of the MotoGP squad.
In our telecast of the racing today down under there was a "One minute with Marco" video in the prelude to the race.
Marco was his usual character and doing his best at walking us around his GP bike whilst trying to explain important aspects of the bike to us in English. Like the buttons! It was so comic.
I said to my wife; "You have to see this!"
I'm gonna miss that fella'...
