Doug1647545489 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Rossi was physically fine. It was Edwards that dislocated his shoulder. They tried to resuscitate Marco for 45 min-1 hour, but unfortunately couldn't. I'm pretty sure he died on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he died on the track. i thought i had it wrong but didn't feel like checking again. i agree that he more than likely died at the track. the press conference about it said he was knocked out in the crash and they put a breathing tube in him and did cpr for 45 min.

buelliganx1 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Is there any video out there of what happened to him to cause him to cut across the front of those other two riders? I'm confused as to what happened before he came into view on this video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 The guys that are over the top are when the bikes go race Isle of Man. I amazed that 10 people a year there don't die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 slomo video, from what you can see it looks like he fell off the bike. maybe the bike started to go out from under him and then caught traction again and went across track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkInpkx1hFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buelliganx1 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Damn even if he would have lived he would have had some severe facial lacerations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 My wife texted me about this while we were at the track yesterday. I watched it when I got home. For those wondering what happened leading up to the crash, Marco low sided the bike but instead of letting go and throwing the bike away he held on and tried to save it. The tires regained enough traction to shoot the bike back across the track but not stand it back up thus putting him right in the path of the on-coming riders. If you watch the video pretty close Edwards hit him pretty square in the back but it was Rossi's bike that got him right in the head ripping the helmet off and likely doing the worst of the damage. RIP Marco. despite being controversial there was no denying the kid (24) had huge levels of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
