Come one Rossi! B)
And more importantly... PIT GIRLS!
Anyone see the crash in Moto2? Is Shoya Tomizawa dead?
Didn't see it, but apparently it was horrific... The BBC said they would update as they hear anything
Not as good as F1 is it? 😉

apparently so
Yeah, just announced he died on BBC.
Very bad news from the track and not good.
thats put a downer on a good pedrosa win. sad news
It was a horrendous crash and the marshalls certainly didn't help the situation. RIP Shoya.
Awful crash and terrible for all involved. RIP
and the marshalls certainly didn't help the situation
why? what did they do or not do?
does anyone have a link to the race? I missed that one
Haven't seen the whole thing but the general opinion is that the race should have been stopped.
The marshalls just bundled him onto a stretcher. Usually they put the bales around a fallen rider and attend to them on the track. He was in the gravel trap so out of the way of the racing so I guess that's why it wasn't black flagged. Very very tragic and it shows just how dangerous racing is.
No one gonna mention [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/jenniegow/2010/09/tragedy_overshadows_indy_racin.html ] this though?[/url] from the last race?
Hadge - He was still on the track, just off the racing line in the footage I saw.
I wasn't sure if he was so I stand corrected. It looked like very poor marshalling with all the riders who fell and my first thoughts were when watching it was that it should have been red flagged.
Admiralable they held a minutes silence before the racing started for Lenz.
RIP, and I hope the other 2 riders involved, De Angelis and Redding arent too injured and can mentally and emotionally get over the crash. They had no time to avoid Shoya and his bike and I can only imagine how they are feeling right now.
Rubbish 🙁 Just watched the footage... Pretty horrendous!
After a crash like that anything other than a spine board would probably have finished him off if the crash itself hadn't already.
R.I.P.
Only just caught the victory celebrations from the MotoGP race and the look on Rossis face says it all - forced smiles all round. Must have been awful going onto the podium after finding the news about the accident.
