Not sure if this already posted elsewhere, but the official name of the Misano circuit has been changed to, Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, in memory of Marco.

Old news. Thanks.

Powerslide--where people go to get the news before it happens...and well after it happens.

I'm surprised when watching the SBK race that they didn't dedicate a segment to it before the race.

I new they were going to re-name it in memory of super-sic. Glad they did but im afraid i still have negative feelings about this track.

The place is ....... cursed and not even a very interesting track imo.

Very fitting tribute for such an up and coming talent. Without a doubt he would have won countless races at this track.

Never have I seen a rider that could possibly win, so many GP titles.

i could understand naming part of the circuit,or a grandstand or whatever after shoya. sadly i did not hear anything about him anymore and he actually died at that track

Like the tribute, Marco would have been a World champion in the Motogp class, best talent that never reached his potential imo. and still missed.

I don't think any track would want to name anything after a rider that died there, that would be real negative advertising. It was named after marco because he lives a mile up the road so it was his "real" home track.

I agree but was anything done to remember Kato other than riders wearing the #74?

I wondered if they did anything for him at Suzuka
