Fatal MotoGP Crash

There has been a fatal MotoGP crash yesterday at the San Marino GP. It happened to Shoya Tomizawa who was racing in the Moto2 class. The fellow rider from injuries sustained during the crash.

He came off his Suter bike when he was under pressure from Italian Alex de Angelis. Neither de Angelis nor British rider Scott Redding were able to avoid hitting Tomizawa, who was propelled over 40 metres and off the track into the gravel. It was only his first season in Moto2, having competed in the 250cc category last season. He had begun the season in style after winning the curtain raiser in Qatar. He followed it up in Spain but his form has tailed off since then and he was seventh in the overall standings with 82 points.

The crash was surely a tragic one and also an unexpected one. Other than this, one other famous crash has happened here. The late Ayrton Senna. He could not do his cornering properly and then crashed into a wall. Tragic.

Shoya Tomizawa was hit by Alex de Angelis and Scott Redding and then flung 40 metres into the air before landing on the gravel. It's really painful to land on the gravel especially if you have been flung up 40 metres. His injuries were very serious.

I just want to give my thoughts and feelings over this tragic incident.

It's a tragic and an unexpected crash. I was not home at the time otherwise I would have watched MotoGP with my brother, who was at home at the time. Nobody could have expected such a tragic crash to happen. I believe that this will surely affect the riders during the next MotoGP race. They will feel a sort of pressure and they will not be able to think properly. Their lap times will probably be longer. In My Humble Opinion, the riders must be able to cope with it and get on with their lives. They cannot let this tragic incident affect their daily lives and MotoGP lives.

The three podium finishers during the MotoGP class race were very shocked. They were Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi. 

It's really a tragic day for MotoGP right there after what happened at Suzuka. The track might no longer be used or they will enhance safety measures. All the riders have to learn to cope with it.
