Regardless of any of that, RIP Marco. While not always my favorite rider, I was definitely looking forward to watching him race for years to come.
I don't know how anybody could look at the picture in post #20 and call that "mainly an arm". We all know Marco's helmet came off in the crash and an article published in the UK said Marco had a visible tire mark across his neck; that clearly didn't come from where Edwards hit him.

Not saying this to point fingers at all, just explaining why people are so concerned about Rossi moreso than Edwards (not to mention the long friendship they've shared).
