Sad news about Simoncelli....

Post by tony.mon »

Oh, no, just settled in to watch the races this evening and heard the news, He was really looking good for the future, one of the up-and-coming new bunch, taking no prisoners and no respecter of the existing top dogs.

He'd just been confirmed for Honda next year, too, so would have been a front runner.


Such a shame.

Hope Colin and Vale aren't too affected by this, it's just racing, no-one's to blame, everyone takes the chance wholeheartedly and knowing the possible consequences, as, to lesser degree, do we all.
:cry:
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
