It is hard to think that you will not be there in the next Grand Prix at Valencia. Not at the next one, or the one after that. . . We will never see you on the track again. Those flowing curly locks of hair, that bright number 58 will no longer be there looking for the gap that physics deny exists. Never again will we enjoy that beaming smile, behind which lay the stubbornness and determination of only the bravest warrior. Obstinate and courageous, a colleague admired as much as he was respected. Few knew you but even then some of them pointed the finger. But that no longer matters because now you will always be remembered as the great rider that left an imprint of his soul in every corner. How sad to lose your life for your passion, but how wonderful to know that your final breath was taken doing the one thing you loved. It is as hard to think that you will never surprise us on the track again as it is great to recall that determined warrior, who was so gentle off it. Wherever you are MARCO SIMONCELLI the Aspar Team will always remember you. Our most sincere admiration for you and condolences to your family and all the people who had the honour to know you and love you. REST IN PEACE, DEAR WARRIOR!
