What a horrible two weeks it has been in racing. First the horrible crash and passing of Dan Wheldon and now the crash and passing of Marco Simoncelli. Not to discredit ANY of Dan Wheldon’s achievements both on and off the track, but this Marco death really hit close to home. Not only because I am a rider myself, but because of my huge following of MotoGP for the past 5 seasons. I was never was a fan of his aggressive style, BUT that never made me respect him any less. To be honest as a fan, he will be missed very much. It takes some guts to go out on the track and do the near impossible. Something I could never do. My prayers go out to his team and family. Such a horrible loss. Rest in peace brother. Thank you for the memories.

It is known that Simoncelli is the most aggressive rider in MotoGP right now. But today, he really pissed me off. There is nothing wrong with being an aggressive rider, but when it gets reckless it needs to stop. My opinion may be bias since Pedrosa is my favorite rider, but it was obvious that Marco cut into his race line and made him drop the bike. And look at the result, a broken collar bone. The worst part is that Marco is clueless as to what he is doing wrong. It was a real shame because it was an amazing race. Casey Stoner was un-stopable. The Honda’s are still the fastest bikes out. A big congratulations to Rossi for his first podium!!!!! It’s great to see that he is slowly but surely getting comfortable with his Ducati. One thing I am worried about are the American riders. Ben Spies and Nickey Hayden are nowhere to be found after a successful season last year. Overall great race. I just hope Pedrosa can recover.
