WorldSBK I Round 10 I Jerez, Spain | Sep. 24-26

pretty sure they’ll reuse the gravel

 

Lol sorry. Had surgery this week so I’ve been out.

 

racing cancelled, how bad was the crash in the 300's?

 

Awe man. Prayers to riders involved.

 

WSBK racing cancelked today. Prays for the 300 racer.

 

Just read about the team. Mavs dad owns it and it was his cousin who had the bad crash.

 

Confused why the race was not starting then audible gasp when reading about Dean Berta Viñales.

 

prayers to all the riders, wonder how this works with the championship on the line. I tried to find a video or the replay of the race but looks like wsbk may not put it on their site

 

This is not good at all...

 

He probably broke that too.

 

Was something wrong with the track itself? I don’t understand canceling a race over crashes, even bad ones.

 

if i had to guess this is in response to when the young man in moto 3 passed away. a lot in the media and some riders were very upset that they continued on after that incident.

 

I guess I didn’t see that part, I don’t understand that mentality either. And, imo…racing motorcycles may not be for you if think the event should be shut down for crashes. That’s unless, the track itself was made unsafe due to said crash.

Fairly sure when a rider dies and the rest of the racers say no we're done for the day, that's the correct decision.

 

Good.....

 

+1

 

But, that didn’t happen across the board. Only a few riders expressed this. Regardless, while sad, crashes and death are part of motorsports.

 

RIP

 

Godspeed to that young man.
