Sad News

Bad start to the IOM.

 

I hate that, bad news all round

 

Always sad to see this sort of thing, and it is such a reminder of how fragile life is. Having raced in years gone by and seen a few tragic incidents it is a very sobering reminder of what could be.

So sad RIP.

 

Very sad indeed. We're over this Wednesday for a week. Hope all goes well. We marshal as well, so our thoughts are also with the marshals who were also injured.

 

So very sad
thoughts go out to all people affected

 

Not been a good few weeks. They've just announced thar Luis Salom's succumbed to the injuries he sustained in moto2 practice earlier rip fella

 

Very sad news that Luis salom Moto 2 Pasted away today after a crash,

TOP UPDATE Remembering Luis Salom Luis Salom will be remembered for his hard riding, his valiant Moto3™ title challenges in 2012 and 2013 and his dedication to his family

 

Was watching practice and had a bad feeling once the camera showed him being treated .
Rip

 

Tragic loss. Rip
He was on track while we were at cartagena last year. It was some spectacle.
A gifted racer..

 

What the hell happened? Another bike involved or scenery? Thankfully with all of the run off and air fences, it is rare nowadays.

They didn't show the crash at turn 12 but he was laying about 6' from the air fence, may be hit it and bounced back?

 

Crikey. I'd have thought the air safe would make things pretty safe unless the bike got there first and moved or pierced it.

They've included the f1 chicane for the rest of the weekend (turn 9)

 

And this at t12

 

So sad to hear this news. Apparently the bike followed him into the air fence badly with obvious tragic consequences.

 

They've basically stated that because it's a Tarmac run off, with no gravel pit, there is nothing to actually slow you down. Both he and the bike scrubbed off little speed before the fence.
