I watched a good version on liveleak. His left foot came off, he fell to the right and into the path of Rossi and Colin. Colin hit him hard, Rossi seemed to clip him or the bike Nd glance off. Colin went down, and simoncelli went sliding face down with no lid.
It was a horrible wreck. The minute I saw it, I could tell he was likely done for. |

After they collide, it looks like his helmet has an extra long strap flapping around as the helmet went tumbling. My guess is the strap mounted to the helmet on one side broke off causing the helmet to go flying. Either way, it's also another reminder to keep your helmet up to the age rule. If it's 4 or 5 years, buy a new one.

I'm not sure I even want to post this photo, but someone caught an inside angle.
Some other good photos of the Grisini and Simoncelli family after the race... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...GP-Sepang.html

I got up early to watch this race.... This is not what MotoGp needs right now. Marco was by far my favorite rider and I really can't believe it.....

It hasn't been a good couple of weeks for racing, for sure.
