Voir 2011 MotoGP Highlights - Episode 17

The Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix was red flagged on Sunday after Marco Simoncelli was involved in a serious accident with riders Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi on lap two. Simoncelli fell from fourth place after losing the front of his motorcycle through turn 11 at the Sepang International Circuit, and slid along with his partically upright bike across the inside of the track into the path of Edwards and Rossi, who could do nothing to avoid the suddenly appearing bike. Despite immediate medical attention and the best efforts of the entire medical team at the circuit, Marco tragically succumbed to his injuries shortly after the incident. The race was subsequently cancelled.
