Not sure if anyone else here follows Moto GP, but a tragic accident in Malaysia led to the death of Marcos Simoncelli.

This 24 year old showed a lot of promise in the 125cc and 250cc classes and I followed him closely along with Danny Pedrosa and my fellow Texan Colin Edwards. From what I've seen, the bike was coming out from under him coming out of the turn and he began to low-side. He did a slight tank slapper that sent him back across track and put him down. From there he was hit by Colin and Rossi as they exited the corner.
RIP Marcos.
