Toby Moody remembers Marco Simoncelli
AUTOSPORT's MotoGP expert Toby Moody pays his own tribute to Marco Simoncelli, who lost his life in a tragic accident at the Malaysian Grand Prix
Sitting on an Alitalia plane full of Italians hardly makes it any easier to collect my thoughts about Marco Simoncelli. We've witnessed a terrible thing in the accident that befell our favourite, tall, gangly, afro-haired Italian.
Sunday was distressing for everyone involved in the sport. It has rocked MotoGP and motorcycle racing as a whole, for we've lost a true superstar. He may not have won a MotoGP race but you don't have to have racked up hundreds of wins to be a hero. For the fans he was just that, simply because they dreamed of being like him.
