I thought it was 3?

Very, very sad, RIP Marco

RIP Horrible accident

I saw it this morning, Fecking awful accident. He had 2 bikes hit him too. They had no chance whatsoever of avoiding him either.RIP :(

yeah the poor guy never stood a chance once he lost his helmet in the first impact. they spent 45 minutes trying to resuscitate him but to no avail.

 

very sad day for motogp

 

R.I.P

24 yo, so young..so sad, RIP

RIP, a bad month for motorsport, the video is shocking and not very nice to watch :(

I dont know much about bikes but surprised his helmet came of R.I.P. Marco.

A massive shame, he's been so entertaining to watch this season and has been making great progress with recent podiums.

 

My thoughts are with the family, friends, Rossi and Edwards.

 

RIP Marco

I felt sick, being a biker all my life its horrid to see. That strap on that helmet would of broke his neck when it came off. Never seen that before. RIP :(

The last person to die in motogp was Daiijiro Kato in 2003 actually.

 

I love bikes and I love motorbike racers. Here's a pic showing what Marco could do on a bike :)

RIP

Its quite surprising how low the actual fatality rate is for all the motorsports really. If you add up how many over the last say 20 years have died during races, you would have thought it would have been a lot higher. Goes to show the expertise of the drivers/riders is top notch and the safety has improved. Tough sports and I take my hat off to them.
