"Bad news, it seems, does come in threes, as we're grieved to report the passing of Marco Simoncelli. The MotoGP rider succumbed to injuries sustained this weekend at the Malaysian Grand Prix, his death coming barely a week after those of Indy 500 champion Dan Wheldon and Baja racer Rick Huseman."

This sucks...Open wheel, off-road and now motorcycles.

That does suck. Such a young age too.

He is my age. It makes me sad that someone who accomplished so much in so little a time was taken while I have accomplished relatively little and I'm still here.

Huge loss for the racing world. Simoncelli had endless potential and incredible character. He was definitely cut from a different cloth than the rest of the riders. Extremely entertaining to watch, he was an all or nothing type of competitor. My prayers go out to him and his family.
