He was and still is one of my favourite riders of all time. He made MotoGP, and racing overall exciting. He had a lot of criticism for some of his on track moves, but I loved every moment I got to watch him on tv and in real life at Laguna Seca this year... I've followed his career a long long time. Some of his 250 races were the best I've ever seen.

I miss you already, Marco Simoncelli #58. Rest In Peace.

All photos and video were taken by myself at Laguna Seca this year (2011). Sorry the quality is not great but I was only using a little compact Panasonic camera.

The first video clip where he's leaving pit lane and waving to people... makes me well up every time :(
