On October 23 2011 the date of Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Sepang circuit. All Free Practices from Friday and Qualifying on Saturday all went very well just like usually happened in every season. All position for start already done, three Repsol Honda got the first row Dani Pedrosa for pole, Casey Stoner 2nd and Andrea Dovizioso. Following by second row was Collin Edwards, Marco Simoncelli and Nicky Hayden. and the third row for Hiroshi Aoyama will be his second last in MotoGP event after he decided to move to Super Bike, Alvaro Bautista for 8th and the Famous rider Valentino Rossi for 9th closing the third row of the start.
And Warming Up Practice went very well nothing different, all MotoGP fans on main grandstand support their favorite riders, lot of flags with number of their riders and the safety car already checked the circuit for making sure all will going ok for start the race and than the race started.In the minute all MotoGP fans cheering for their riders and Valentino Rossi after start at 9th can control his bike very well and really close to Colin Edwards for take 7th place and at the corner 11 unfortunate accident happened very fast, all audience just said "ouch" and "zappp" all suddenly silent after because one rider lay in track after the accident.
All came very fast and when the big screen in front of us said Marco Simoncelli got big crashed and run to the hospital with Helicopter. The race was delayed for awhile and all the riders back to the paddock. All audience were waiting for the news about Super Sic, all wishing some good news about him. And suddenly race was canceled without any news. Some audience react can't received the cancellation without clear reason, they started throwing some bottles to the track, my reaction was yelling to those people "Please stop it, please respect for Simon" and than I'm running to the paddock, passing the tunnel and can't controlled my self with tears, and when I arrived at the paddock with cold and sad situation, the announcement came that "Marco Simoncelli the young and talented rider from Italy with number 58 had passed away, the hard trauma in his neck made him can't survive to make him still here with us at 4.56 pm Local time he leave us forever".
All paddock was very silent, sad and frozen. His Father just walking very sadly and looks empty. All media people crying so all the riders also, and all MotoGP fans sadly accepted and gradually leaving the circuit.. Really unbelievable Super Sic was very fast leaving us. With all his unique style in every race he did, with his smile, his humor, his spirit, his braveness all never forgotten.
I met him couple of times since 2009 with good memories, as I want take a pic and want have his autograph, he always humble and did with his smile. When I tried to talk a bit with him about his schedule when he will going home and etc, he always answer just like I'm the one of them, like I'm his old friend. And on Friday Oct 21, 2011 at the paddock in front of Ducati box, I talked with Pernat about how I'm adored with his talent and how humble he is and I can saw clearly how proud Pernat with Marco Simoncelli. Yes he's the young talented with all unique styled he had, always made us waiting the race.Really touching and always make me remember with what he did to me. I'm only ordinary fans not a huge fans but he treated me very well just like I'm his friends. And what he had done this year in every race in the boring season he always give to us something incredible and make us very love with motor sport.
His funeral at October 27th 2011 at Coriano at 15.00 Local Time and 20.00 for Indonesia time. We all pray for him may he Rest In Peace.
I would like to give my deepest condolences for Marco Simoncelli Family, Team, and all Fans. And Ciao Super Sic. We always remember you.
