As I was starting to write a piece reflecting on the misguided Indycar policies that may have contributed to Dan Wheldon’s death last week, news came in that MotoGP rider Marco Simoncelli had died in a race at Sepang. Simoncelli was one of my favorite MotoGP riders, but frankly that doesn’t matter. Any death in racing is one death too many. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
