Security cam footage looked like the throttle stuck, he bailed off early, but he and the bike both hit the fence at an ungodly rate. RIP racer.
Horrible. I was glad to see the care they gave him tho. I almost quit watching motogp after seeing both Simoncelli and Tomizawa dropped off stretchers in their haste to move riders.....
Reading the medical press release makes me think he may have severed his aorta. It's a very common deceleration injury where the aorta tears away from the heart and death is pretty instantaneous, meaning they probably couldn't do anything to save him and he probably didn't suffer. I hate days like these. Love the sport but it can be unbelievably cruel.
After FP4 and qualifying, it looks like everyone will be fighting for second place behind Marquez. The new sector four is a much needed lifeline for the Honda riders.
It's stupid that no one else showed up but Bradley smith is the kind of guy that would remind the teacher she forgot to assign homework.
