RIP, Marco. He rode it out to the very end, maybe thats what got him killed. There was talk that some of the top riders were trying to get him to seperate from his bike while crashing, Its a concious thing, do you ride it out or do you try to seperate ? I personally ride everything out till I'm done crashing. Marco crashed quite a bit, it's a shame it got him so early. He's a national hero in Italy. In Europe GP and Speedway racing is bigger then nascar and Indy combined here. The tracks are very safe in moto gp lots of runoff, in GP racing theres two ways to get killed, your bike gets you or you get hit. You can see he was killed instantly, and was gone before he stopped moving. p.s. the reason his leg was stuck under his bike was because they use there knee pucks to push the bike back towards uprite, I'm sure for half the crash he was sure he was gonna save it. They're hero's in europe for a reason. bummer
