Maaf pembaca, Simoncelli lagi.. Simoncelli lagi.. Memang saya bukan apa-apa baginya kenal juga enggak apalagi hubungan darah. Kok sampe segitunya, ya?? huhu.. Nggak tau juga yah, ya sepertinya Sic kayak udah jadi bagian dari saya aja.. ehehe.. Harapannya, dia bakal jadi penerus Rossi yang mungkin tinggal beberapa musim balap saja dia bisa eksis, secara Sic masih umur 24 tahun, masih besar harapan untuk menjadi the Next VR 46, tapi kejadian di Sepang kemarin memupus segalanya, kayak mimpi buruk saja.
Anyway, untuk dikenang saja, berikut ini ungkapan-ungkapan terkait tewasnya Super Sic :
Dr. Michele Macchiagodena, Dokter medis yang mengurus musibah Sic, saat press conference : "I'm very sad to be here to report about the death of Marco Simoncelli, a friend. Because of the crash he had during the race, in which he was hit by other riders, he suffered a very serious trauma to the head, to the neck and the chest. When our medical staff got to him he was unconscious."In the ambulance because there was a cardiac arrest they started CPR (cardiac pulmonary resuscitation). Immediately in the Medical Centre, with the help also of the Doctor of our staff at the Clinica Mobile and local Doctors, he was intubated and it was possible to take off some blood from the thorax. The CPR was continued for 45 minutes because we tried to help him for as long as we thought it was possible. Unfortunately it was not possible to help him and at 16:56 (local time) we had to declare he was dead."
Valentino Rossi, Pembalap Ducati yang juga sahabat dan pembalap idola Sic : "Sic for me was like a youngest brother. So strong on track and so sweet in the normal life. I will miss him a lot."
Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda) : "In a tragedy like this there is not much to say. I just want to give my condolences to his family and all the people who love him. I've been with his father and all we could do was to hug, nothing else matters. It was a fatal accident and everybody in the paddock remains in shock. Many times we ourselves forget how dangerous this sport can be and when you lose people on the way nothing has any meaning. It's clear that we all do what we like, what we love, but on days like today nothing matters."
"In a race you fight and push hard and disaster is often around the corner. Marco was a strong rider and he always pushed hard. We raced together since we were kids. I saw him always pushing to the maximum, he crashed many times, but without major injuries, he was seemed invincible. What happened today seems impossible."
Casey Stoner (Repsol Honda MotoGP) : "I'm so shocked and saddened by the loss of Marco. When things like this happen it reminds you how precious life is, it makes me feel sick inside. All I can say is how sorry I am for Marco's whole family I can't imagine what they are all going through and our thoughts and wishes are with them at this time. I hope they all stay close and pull through this tragedy together."
Jorge Lorenzo, Pembalap Factory Yamaha yang absen di Sepang karena cedera jari tangannya pada sesi balap sebelumnya mengungkapkan : "I don't know what to say on a day like today ... Only that you will be missed - rest in peace Marco."
Ben Spies (Yamaha Factory Racing) : "Super Sic rest easy..."
Toni Elias (LCR Honda) : "There is nothing I can say...Marco was a unique person - but above all, he was a good guy."
Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team MotoGP) : "Sometimes life just don't make sense... RIP #58 you were a star on & off track we all going to miss you."
Cal Crutchlow (Monster Tech 3 Yamaha) : "RIP Marco Simoncelli! A great rider and all round nice guy. My thoughts are with all his family & friends. I will never forget today... #58"
John Hopkins (Rizla Suzuki Wildcard) : "God Speed #58 Simoncelli... Your fighting spirit will live on forever!"
Damian Cudlin (MotoGP Wildcard) : "Terrible news. Marco's gone. Sad day for motor racing and all the llives he touched along the way. Won't forget you, mate."
Kenny Roberts : "The entire Roberts Family is deeply sadden by the news about Marco. We wish to send our condolences to his family, friends, fans and MotoGP. We will never forget him!"
"Today is another tough day for motorcycle racing. We have lost a great companion, and I will remember Marco as a great rival with whom had some fantastic battles in the past."
Shuhei Nakamoto (HRC Executive Vice President) : "I just don't know what to say; words escape me. Marco was a very nice guy and a very talented rider. Sometimes I was a little harsh with him, for example after his first MotoGP podium in Brno when I told him, 'Lucky podium!' and he was so angry, but I wanted to motivate him as I knew he was able to do even more.
"I was thinking that when he won his first race we would have been able to celebrate together. Now I just want to say thank you to Marco, for what you gave me, and pass my sincere condolences to his family at this very sad time."
Jorge Aspar Martínez (Mapfre Aspar MotoGP team owner) : "What has happened today is immensely sad. It should be said that every Friday before a Grand Prix, the Safety Commission convenes at 5pm with all the MotoGP riders to evaluate safety issues at all Grand Prix circuits. Marco lost the front end and attempted to save the crash, but unfortunately the inertia of the bike took him onto the inside of the corner just when Edwards and Valentino were passing. There was nothing that they could do to avoid him. Today is a tremendously sad day for the entire paddock and for those who love motorcycle racing."
Kenny Noyes (FTR Moto2 rider) : "It is a very sad day for us all. Marco was one of the greats, both on and off the track and he will be missed by everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends."
"Marco's crash really brought it home to me. I also had a real scary moment when Axel Pons crashed in front of me and I ran over him. We were real lucky, though, I saved the crash and Axel was OK. I was so relieved to hear that."
"We worked closely with Marco for his first two years in MotoGP and it was clear that he was a true racer, something he proved again and again this season. Determined to the end, and a great showman. His ascent through the field in just two seasons has been fantastic to watch, testament to his raw talent, ability and dedication to the sport he so loved. We remember fondly the tenacity and spirit with which he raced, and he will be sorely, sorely missed."
Jeff Belskus (Indianapolis Motor Speedway President & CEO) : "We are deeply saddened at the passing of Marco Simoncelli. He was one of the most charismatic figures in the World Championship and had a fantastic future ahead of him in MotoGP. Marco was one of the most popular riders at the MotoGP event at Indianapolis, as his talent on the motorcycle and his ability to connect with fans both were very special. We extend our sincere sympathies to his family, team and fans."
Ducati MotoGP Team : "Ducati, its team and its riders are deeply affected by the tragedy that struck the MotoGP world today, and they gather around the family, friends and team of Marco Simoncelli, who lost his life in a terrible accident during the Malaysian Grand Prix.
"We will always remember Marco for his smile, his enthusiasm, his big heart and for the incredible emotions he allowed us to experience in recent years. He was one of us."

The American has left the Sepang International Circuit to begin his recovery at home in America and his thoughts and prayers are with Simoncelli and the Gresini Honda family.
"RIP Super Sic - A much-loved star on and off the track."
Rizla Suzuki : "All at Rizla Suzuki are deeply affected by today's tragic events and send their deepest condolences to Marco's family and friends during this time of great loss. R.I.P Marco Simoncelli, 20 January 1987, 23 October 2011. A true competitor."
