Horror crash on lap 2 I believe. It's just happened so no video's or links. Heard it thru the news room. :(

RIP Marco. Was watching the MotoGP recording before I heard about this. Ugh, he was one of my favorite riders.

Holy crap! I don't think I want to watch that again. I don't think he suffered much. The helmet rolled right up to the rider that hit him. I'd say he's mentally scarred for life.

Yeah, shocking impact. I think I watched that video at work 10 times. Then I watched it again and couldn't believe Rossi stayed on his bike.

The one rider was there on his knees and it looked like the helmet rolled right into his lap (or right in front of him). That freaked me out

That was Colin Edwards. (American) He dislocated his shoulder.

I still can't believe that happened. Two deaths inside a week. Tragic. :(
