Title: MotoGP2 - Race overshadowed by death.
Post by: VillaZogmariner on September 05, 2010, 02:54:26 PM: There is a clip of the crash at the start of this clip -

Shoya Tomizawa aged 19 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/motorbikes/8970385.stm)

Didn't know whether to put it in the deathwatch thread or not.

The risks motorcycle racers take are far greater than F1 etc and I have nothing but admiration for them.
I have a photo taken at Thruxton of myself with Ollie Bridewell who was killed when he hit a tree at Mallory Park a few races later.

Knew it was going to be very bad when they showed the replay, the 2nd bike of Brit Scott Redding went straight over him at 240kmph while he was on the ground and it sent him spinning, I felt it was only a matter of time before they announced his death.

He was going to be a great talent as well, won the opening race in Qatar and was pole position for the 2nd race. Started the weekend 6th place in the championship and was only 19. Real shame.

The marshalls that carried him off dropped him as well which wouldnt have helped matters.

Just to add - Andrea Dovizioso almost suffered the same thing last week at Indianapolis when he fell off his bike and about 4 riders just about managed to avoid him. I'm amazed we havent lost a lot more riders over the years.

Title: Re: MotoGP2 - Race overshadowed by death.
Post by: b23 on May 03, 2011, 10:36:02 AM: Yeah. Watched that D.boy, Lorenzo should pick a fight with someone else ( and he probably will ). Cheers.

He should be a nose. He could break his heart as well as collar bones etc.
