Terrible. R.I.P Doriano.

This is unreal.... that another rider in a Simoncelli tribute race should die in an identical manner to Marco.
This is not even fate being cruel or ironic, this is fate being a rotten bastard.

Although this isn't really the right place to post this it happened on the same day and in a similarly cruel and ironic twist of fate in the realm of automotive "entertainment".

Actor Paul Walker who played Brian O'Conner in the Fast and the Furious films was killed in an RTA shortly after leaving a charity event.

"On November 30, 2013, at approximately 3:30 PM (PST), Walker and a friend, identified as Roger Rodas[30] by organizers for Walker's charity, Reach Out Worldwide (for victims of Typhoon Haiyan), left one of its events.[31][32] Shortly after leaving in Rodas' red Porsche Carrera GT, the driver lost control and crashed into a light pole and tree in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California and the vehicle burst into flames."
