Riders pay tribute to Marco Simoncelli

MotoGP's top riders remember Italy's Marco Simoncelli, who died after crashing during the Malaysian MotoGP, external in Sepang last month.

World champion Casey Stoner says he feels "privileged" to have shared the podium with Simoncelli twice this year, while compatriot Valentino Rossi says the late Italian rode with his heart rather than his head.

The Misano grand prix circuit in Italy is to be renamed in honour of Simoncelli.
