Italian rider Marco Simoncelli died on Sunday after falling from his bike and being struck by two riders at the Malaysian Motor GP race. In the second fatality to hit motorsport in a week following the death of the British driver Dan Wheldon at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Simoncelli appeared to lose control on the second lap at Sepang, veering into the path of the American Colin Edwards and Italy's Valentino Rossi.
