Loris Capirossi is running Marco's number this weekend at Valencia as a tribute: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/95918 After the race, No. 58 will be retired. Also, Misano is to be renamed in Marco's honour: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/95872 Also here: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sport/sportresults/MotoGP/2011/November/nov0311-loris-capirossi-to-race-with-number-58/ I can't begin to understand how hard it must be for these guys to get back on their bikes and go racing after Malaysia, in one way or another they are all honouring Marco's memory. I'm hoping this final race of the season will be a fitting tribute to him.
I'm watching MotoGP on DVR now,... Very emotional. Simoncelli's Dad asked for a moment of noise, instead of the usual moment of silence... Fireworks. Very fitting. RIP Super Sic.
If you can get the BBC i player there's a nice tribute piece at the start of thier coverage today including some nice comments from some of the riders including Rossi, Stoner, Dovizioso, Pedrosa and Lorenzo. It's well worth watching if you can. Here's the link but I'm not sure if you'll be able to watch it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0178q40/MotoGP_2011_Round_18_Valencia/ Addio Marco, una vera superstar! riposa in pace
