Damn, but shocked this doesn't happen more often. Riding a motorcycle is dangerous to begin with, but even more so when riding like this.

Man, it's a total downer. Everyone is totally bummed. At least he died doing what he loved  Accidents on the racetrack don't always go bad though. |

Re: Marco Simoncelli R.I.P
What happens sometimes when you lose the front end in a turn and the bike is down you can pick the bike up by turning in the handle which makes the bike try to stand up and the tyres grip the asphalt. It seems to have been the case over here but maybe the bike didnt stay down because Marcos leg was still under it and it couldn't lie flat, so the tyres gripped and brought the bike around across the track into the other riders path. I've seen bikes do stranger things after going down. There was nothing anyone could've done. At real speed it all happened in less than 2 seconds.
