VIDEO: Slo-mo and frame by frame analysis of Simoncelli's fatal crash in Sepang

The death of Marco Simoncelli at the Sepang round of the MotoGP shocked the world of motorsports.

The young Italian rider, best known for his entertaining, some say aggressive, riding style lost control of his motorcycle on the second lap and began sliding towards the centre of the circuit when two following riders, Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi slammed into him.

Zulfahmi finish 9th at Brno

This quite a bit of news, a Malaysian rider finishing in the top 10 of the 125cc class of  the MotorGP at the Czech Republic.

Muhammad Zulfahmi Khairuddin who rides for Air Asia-SIC-Ajo Motorsports had suffered a two-race drought and this performance in Brno certainly restores his reputation as a credible MotoGP racer.

I certainly hope that he will go from strength to strength, maybe get into the top 5 by next year and finish the season in the top 10.


For this year you just keep scoring points Zul, you are doing great!!

For this year he targets 15th place in the championship table, not too shabby for a newbie and with the Brno result he now has 20 points and is in 16th place.
