Italian motorcyclist Marco Simoncelli has been killed in a crash at Sunday’s Malaysian MotoGP, organisers have said.
Simoncelli fell on on lap two of the race, his helmet came off and the rider was hit by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi as he slid across the track.
He was treated for his injuries but medical staff could not save his life. “As soon as I saw the footage it just makes you sick inside,” said the MotoGP champion, Casey Stoner. “Whenever the helmet comes off that’s not a good sign.”
The 24-year-old won the 250cc world title in 2008 before starting his career in MotoGP two years later.
More details to follow soon …
