MotoGP: Valentino Rossi “I miss Sic very much”
One year later, the Ducati rider from Pesaro talks about how much he misses Marco Simoncelli
The entire paddock was struck by the death of Marco Simoncelli, a rider from Coriano who lost his life last October 23rd during the MotoGP race in Sepang. However, most of the riders will certainly be Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi, who innocently overwhelmed the unfortunate Team Gresini rider. Rossi himself spoke a year later about how much he misses the "Sic", here are his words.
"I miss Marco very much, especially now that we are in Malaysia for the race – said Rossi as reported by Tgcom.it – Here we realize that a year has passed since that moment and it is even worse. It's a very difficult feeling for me. It's sad that he's no longer here, especially for his family, his friends who could meet him every day in Coriano, everyone misses him so much. I miss his way of being, his purity, Sic was a real one, and then it was fun to be together."

Grande Vale: in a few words you express what "all of us sportsmen" think about Sic.
Unsportsmanlike people… think what they want.
Hard life and bitter blood!!!
@lyonn. hi lyonn, I am one of those people who often criticized the sic for its incorrectness (I called it natural incorrectness) but who at Spang 2011 cried in front of the images on TV together with my wife who told me: "IF YOU TRY TO PUT OUR SON ON A MINI MOTORCYCLE I WILL KILL YOU.” because my dream is to make my son do what I couldn't do... (passion permitting). But now after what I say you will all attack me, I'm sure of it... I don't really agree when you say bravo "vale" because in any case I have never heard words towards sic from vale, except here. and I also remember the words of the sic's parents when they said that they expected more from him. this is my opinion from the outside. Now massacre me too.
I am sure, however, that when you lose a friend and above all within yourself you think that you have also involuntarily been the cause, the less you talk about it the better you feel... I say sure because when I was a boy in a car accident I lost a friend who was sitting next to me, I wasn't the one driving but it's all the same, we didn't talk much about it with the others and I still feel uncomfortable with his parents today.
It was a damned race episode that ended too badly. Let's not talk about it anymore and let's leave Valentino alone about this thing. Let's talk about racing, period.
@oldwolf. Unfortunately these things are part of racing. and it must also be said that we are registered to comment on articles and reply to each other. in any case, the SIC didn't beat him and will beat anyone.
@Testoner
Sorry but I'm having a hard time answering on Sic: it would be too long and sad for me...
It's still too fresh a wound: after Vale the Sic was my favorite and I considered him his natural heir both as a rider and as a friend and image man in motorcycling.
In addition to being a great driver... he had a fearsome physique: even Vale would have given up in a melee with him, which is saying something...
Questionable opinion, obviously, but at the moment (5 days since that cursed day a year ago...) I struggle to talk about it except to emulate it...
For your son... both you and your wife are right: she as a mother, you to start your son if he has the passion; we mere mortals call certain events bad luck... in the end it's just fate, or rather... wrong place at the wrong time.
If it has to happen, it happens, I don't want to sound like the philosopher of the moment but as Vale said...
“Imagine if I hadn't tried”…
I understand your wife and on the one hand I can't blame her, on the other I understand Vale that today he could be the accountant of the Pinco Pallo company and go around on a scooter or the worker of the Sempronio company...
Very honorable professions but he would have been lost and we would have missed out on 14-16 years of great fun...
Marco passed away fulfilling his dream, maybe tomorrow (I touch my jewels) I cross the street and they mow me down...
In the last moment of life what will I ever think?
What a shitty life, I never achieved my dreams and I'm leaving at 46..., nice stuff...
What then is the true truth of knowing how to live?
holy holy words! I'm almost moved. Very good Lyon, these are the words of a mature and sincere man, the most beautiful lines I've ever read here. 10 green thumbs for you..
you see, we think about these things, who see the pilot mark
but I believe that in the end the sic's father, in order to still have him with him, would have preferred an accountant son..
yes he was a happy father because his son managed to fulfill a dream..
Now, however, the dream for Sic's father is over and he finds himself thinking if it was right to support Marco in his passion.
I don't believe in destiny
there is nothing written
they are moments, simple coincidences
as a parent I think it will be impossible to live happily from now on for the father and mother of the sic...
