    Tragic loss, just been watching it.

    As soon as I saw a helmet flying across the track I was pretty certain it would be fatal.

    Cold tyre saw front wash wide, during great scrap with Bautista, but the bike gripped and pulled him back into the track and Colin Edwards couldn't avoid him.

    I know to some he is marmite, but I've always thought he showed huge potential. RIP Marco.

    Was out in Glasgow when I got a txt from fellow member, I stood in the shop numb.

    I agree he was a world champion in the making.

    just seen a pic and it looked like rossi trapped him against edwards bike, all the videos looked like edwards had only hit him. Very nasty Motogp won`t be the same without him.
