Another one lost.

I'll remember his hair and the most amazing riding style he had.

He really was a champion in the making with no aspirations.

Before you ask Joe.... Marco
 
Haven't seen the crash but it is reported his helmet came off- how did that happen? You would know if your helmet was loose as soon as you set off.

thats what made it all the more sickening, these guys have bespoke helmets that cost a fortune, they dont come off, so getting hit by the 2 bikes must have been a massive impact
 
Perhaps the hair and the speed of impact had to do with this. Badly fitted lid springs to mind.

Other than that a racing accident.

They all know the risks.
 
Sad loss RIP.

Seen a slow-mo of it on Youtube.
Dont know the facts, but it looks like he's unconscious on the way down??
Before being hit by the following bikes.
 
Why would anyone want to look at a fatal crash in slow motion (or fast motion)? I guess that's what motor racing fans are looking for anyway. No crash, no death - no sport.
 
Why do traffic queues form on motorways when there's a bad accident on the other carriageway?
People like a bit of blood and gore, as long as it's not their own.
I bet you've looked at it on utube as well joe.
 
Bet he's also watched gadaffi's demise and his corpse laid on youtube and/or the news. I know I have :|

No sorry, I've seen dead bodies in real life. Not really something that interests me.
