    Rossi could race under 58. Unlikely but when it comes to the main man you never know! He doesn't give a f*ck!

    It would be nice if they retired the number.

    Think they will!! Is a nice touch but I also think it's good if someone races under it, nice act of respect and keeps te memories going...

    That is a cool idea! Bit freaky though...

    No doubt the whole padock will do something special!!

    I think it would be best to just underplay the whole thing. Keep it subtle.

    I like what they've been doing at rugby matches recently. Not one minute silences but one minute applause. Just as respectful but can't be ruined by arseholes with air horns and vuvuzelas.

    In this weeks mcn, his dad has requested "a minute of chaos" to honour his son... He wants all 125, moto2 and motogp bikes to rev their engines for a minutes as a tribute!

    Couldn't think of anything better!

    That helmet was from his crash there last year (2010) testing at Sepang you will see the San Carlo stickers on the visor these were replaced by Monster ones this year ......everything but year right i am afraid.

    Sometimes its funny how things work out he had 3 major crashes at Sepang while testing last year and he clinch his 250 title there as well and left a big hole in everyone hearts there this year

    As Rossi said ...I miss you Marco................................. Lorenzo said ... I will miss you forever


    Enough said

    Well spotted, thought it was a bit weird that they would show the helmet so soon after the crash or even at all, wonder who has it.
