Flags are at half-staff here at the Ironworks Motorbike Club

In honor of Moto GP racer Marco Simoncelli who lost his life earlier today in a horrific crash at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Simoncelli was just 24 years old and a rising star in the circuit. He was 6th in the standings and took two podiums this year. For more on the story, check in with Superbike Planet, another fine website based in Red Wing:
