MARCO SIMONCELLI, ITALY WATCHED

 

Efforts are underway for MotoGP to retire Sic's number--58--forever.

The church was packed, and thirty thousand people stood outside or at the nearby Misano circuit. Millions watched it live on Italian TV.

Tears and salutes were widespread when Sic was placed in the hearse.

Sic's girlfriend, Kate said, "He only had good qualities. He was a perfect person and perfect people cannot live with us ordinary mortals."
