January 20th Marco Simoncelli would have turned 25, if that fateful and tragic October 23rd at Sepang hadn’t taken him away from racing and his fans.
A large show called Buon Compleanno Sic! was organized by his family last Friday with the help of numerous Italian comics to thank fans for the warmth and comfort that they given them in these last three months and to gather funds for the foundation that the Simoncelli family set up after his untimely death.

Over six thousand people showed up at the 105 Stadium in Rimini, with fans coming from Spain, Portugal, France and Holland to take part in the three hour long show to laugh and cry and celebrate Marco.
On the same day the town of Coriano officially dedicated their sports arena to the late rider which is now named “Palazzetto dello Sport Marco Simoncelli”and the local bus that goes from Coriano to the Aquafan park and Riccione will now be permanently indicated as the #58.

Simoncelli’s parents were also presented with a song dedicated to their son by Stefano Picchi called “Marco piega a mille all’ora” (Marco leans at 1000 an hour – included in one of the videos after the jump) and all proceeds from the song will go the the Simoncelli foundation.

Since not everyone could be at the Sic’s birthday, we’d like to share the videos that we’ve found on Youtube and the words that an emotional Paolo Simoncelli who said at the end of the show, “If it’s true that angels exist, then Marco from up there would be having a ball.
