Moto GP News and Stuff

It is with great sadness that we learn today that Marco Simoncelli succumbed to his injuries in Sepang, Malaysia following Sunday's MotoGP race.

The 24-year Italian rider was involved in an accident on lap two of the Malaysian Grand Prix. The race was red flagged and later cancelled. Despite the efforts of the medical team, Marco succumbed to his injuries at 4:56pm local time.

Marco will be remembered as a vibrant, enthusiastic rider who always brought lots of energy to the MotoGP paddock. Inside Motorcycles would like to express our sincerest condolences to Marco's friends and family.
