    See the way I see it is if he drifted towards the cables his lower engine guard and hi way pegs could get caught up in the barriers and come to a halt .but we are yet to know how he got towards the left .who ever was riding with him supposed to have run into the bike after he crashed .according to the news he came out somewhat better .?he has the answers to what happened. My heart goes out to his wife and family members. She must be so tore up over this .just freaking sucks man.

    I wonder. Just had tires installed my thought was medical or mechanical or mistake.

    It's a straight section guessing on up sized image don't see a lot of road damage

    We had a guy do something like this a few years back in Daytona had a heart attack while riding and just went right over

    "Why" we may not know for sometime. I'm just sick over this. I consider Marc a dear friend.

    We all hope that the day will come when Marc can tell us what happened, until then we all will hope for a speedy recovery so he can ride again.

    While we all may/may not send him somthimg how about we also take the time and send one card to all of us one at a time and once everyone who wants to sign it has signed we mail it to him? He's gonna be laid up while. What do ya's think?

    Oh my, I've been away for the past week following a family member passing and can't believe this happened to Marc. So saddened by this news. Please keep us updated.

    Terrible, just terrible. So sorry for him and his loved ones. Hope & pray he makes a speedy and full recovery, as well as the other rider.

    No change. They believe they saved his foot. He's still in a "twilight" coma. Some eye movement and finger too.
    This is a photo his daughter posted on Marc's FB page. I think it's his wife Pats hand on Marc's. Very sad and sweet.
