Den förare som verkar ha tagit det hårdast är Andrea Dovizioso. Han och Marco har kört mot varann i hela sin karriär ända sen dom var små och körde minimoto. Andrea vet inte om han klarar att köra på Valencia.
Colin Edwards skador är så pass så han kommer inte kunna köra Valencia.
Gresini kommer inte till start med någon förare på Valencia.
Jorge Lorenzos finger kanske inte heler tillåter han att köra Valencia. Där verkar det diskuterats att ta in ersättningsförare.
VITO GUARESCHI -- Ducati Team Manager
VG: “I think for Valentino he will need time to accept what happens. Valentino left the circuit immediately because he has a very heavy weight on his shoulders. I don’t know what he is thinking but sure he has a heavy heart in this moment.
"My best memory of Marco will be from Sunday morning in the breakfast room at the hotel. This is the last time I saw and spoke with Marco and I think Marco stays in my head with this last time I speak with him. This is a big disaster, he's big friend of Valentino's. He liked this sport, he liked this life."
JEREMY BURGESS -- Valentino Rossi's crew chief.
JB: “Valentino and Marco were good mates, always in the quarry racing dirt bikes, Valentino got him on the right track a few years ago and told him to do some training to win the 250 world championship and he did.
"Valentino was very clear last year that if Marco came to grips with the bigger bike he’d be a serious threat in the future and he was coming to grips with it for sure.
“I think Honda obviously felt that because they wanted to keep him on board for next year. He was a great competitor and a great bloke. He was good for the sport.
"Marco didn't have control of his bike and it was unavoidable impact from all sides. Valentino was able to get back to the pits even though the rim was damaged, the front fender and cowling also."
LIVIO SUPPO
Marketing Director, Honda Racing Corporation
LS: "Honda believed a lot in Marco, he was a great rider, a big talent and it is just a pity he had no time to show it."
FAUSTO GRESINI
Simoncelli's Team Boss
FG: "In this moment I cannot believe anything. After something like this you can't see any reason to do this (racing)."
CARLO PERNAT -- Marco Simoncelli's Manager
CP: "We lost a nice man in Marco Simoncelli today. He dreamed to be world champion but now the dream is over. No matter what happened Marco was the friendliest guy in the paddock -- he spoke and cared for everyone. He was a true racer, a star on and off the track."
NICKY HAYDEN -- 2006 World Champion
NH: "It's hard to even talk, man. Obviously you feel for his family, his friends, his team, but we all feel it. In this paddock we're all brothers. Just hard to say anything other than that guy's going to be missed on the track and off the track. He really was a star.
"It's a cruel game sometimes. Some days it can be the best of things. But sport is like that -- life is like that. It can be really cruel sometimes and you don't know why."
