Did you get a chance to see the crash yet? It was the worst I've ever seen. It made me think a lot this morning.
We might never get the checkered flag, so enjoy what time you've got.

I was watching the races this morning...Definitley one of the worst I've seen in a while.  2 riders in as many weeks...just goes to show the inherent dangers of following your passion

RIP, Shoya

No, Haven't seen it yet other than a few still's... Frankly, I'm not looking forward to seeing it either.  I've been around long enough to see a few like this happen.  I had a text from a friend this morning telling me to look at that site.

A couple more statements:

ugh... I just watched it, that has to be one of worst I've seen.  Right there with the Craig Jones accident a few years back.
