Moto GP rider Marco Simoncelli was killed yesterday in an accident during the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang. Marco was going to be the next big star of Moto GP. He always had a smile on his face and seemed to be genuinely enjoying what he did. Having met him a few times over the years at races I can also say he was a great person too. Always interacting with fans, signing things, and never too busy for a conversation. Those are just some of the reasons I was such a big fan of his. Moto GP lost one of its brightest stars and it won't be the same without him. Rest easy Super Sic, 58 forever.
