MotoGP 2011

what do you think of the 2012 calander.

the german gp may not go ahead.

The 2012 calendar confuses me.
In fact, MotoGP confuses me quite a lot for various reasons.

Like how most races are either on BBC red button or on Eurosport (which is annoying)
And how there's like four races in Spain... and 2 in the USA.

=3 But the calendar looks cool ^^

[zoefrances]

moto gp can be confussing.

there is 4 races in spain as half the whole moto gp, moto 2 and 125 paddocks are spanish.

[cherryxgrenade]

Well, yeah, makes sense ^^

Horrific crash for Simoncelli. Hope he's OK.

[François]

Any updates on his condition? I didn't see the accident but the reports look worrying.

[cheng.damien]

Was it a head injury?

[François]

Race officially cancelled. Still no news on Simoncelli's condition.

[François]

Was it a head injury?

Quoting autosport.com: "concern centres on Simoncelli, who lay stricken on the track, his helmet having come off during the incident."

[mikhailv]

edwards drove into his back and head, rossi also collided with edwards and Simo. His helmet ripped off during the incident. Edwards has a dislocated shoulder.

Reports from french commentry are that medical staff are informing the family he has passed.

My god. Dan, Huseman and please lets not add Marco.

[cheng.damien]

Yes, the delay is likelihood he has succumbed to the injury

[mikhailv]

yup. Its horrid. But moto gp has been heading this way all year.

The amount of accidents, the injuries this year;

Cal and Dani's collarbones, Spies' ribs, Lorenzo's finger and wrist, theres been so many high-sides and violent crashes this year, so many injuries its unreal.

[cheng.damien]

Motorsports will always be dangerous. Although safety is always improving, it takes this kind of incidents to bring out reforms in the safety regulations

[François]

Christ. They've shown replays of the incident... sickening. Atrocious.

[cformula1]

Marco has officially died

RIP Marco Simoncelli
