Yea super lucky, ****en A. Can go at any moment. Like Kobe, RIP.

Rossi is a legend too competing with dudes 10+ years younger.

or Schumacher, not dead but crazy way to end up after a lifetime in a high risk sport.

At the 2:00 mark he even looks to his left after the near miss, AND stay composed and motors off. These riders have nerves of steel.

lost a legend, he was clearly shook afterwards

That's a butthole pucker moment right there for sure. It would take a few laps to gain the confidence back for a legend like Rossi but for mere mortals like us we might rethink our priorities.

Schumi's my hero I still can't believe he's "not with us" I hope his son Mick signs with ferrari soon.. I've been following and will support his career #keepfighting

I watched it live, couldn't believe it. I've watch GP since 2002 and never seen anything that bad. Looking forward to this weekend.

I remember when they immediately cut away from Simoncelli's crash in 2011. After they wouldn't show a replay I knew something was up.

Hurts to think about nicky. Awesome you actually knew him. Watched him till the end in WSBK.

Same. Mick has been doing well this year. Just alot of technical problems unfortunately.

Amazing, and I'm glad no one was catastrophically hurt - but did you see the bike leaving the scene? I dunno who it was, but from 58 secs that GP bike just carries the front wheel 2-3 inches off the ground for 50-100 metres - that's both power and programming right there....
