| A couple of years ago 1 rider was killed in the Japanes Moto GP at Suzuka, we now do not have a Moto GP round at Suzuka.
A few months back a few people crashed at Mallory park BSB round. Everyone was up in arms about how can we keep racing there, the superbikes have outgrown the place etc.
Recently in AMA the superbikes didn't race at Daytona since the risk of tyres disintegrating was too high.
This week 3 riders and a marshall die at the TT but it was their choice to be there so it's ok.
Go figure.
I'm with Michael on this one and have been for years, it is unacceptable to me that this race continues, and riders continue to die.
Im all for choice and agree that more climbers die but taken in context, there are many more climbers are there not?
I didn't speak out on this post before out of respect for Gus Scott, who I had a very great deal of time and respect for.
I have copied this reply from it's original place. I for one find the TT in it's present form to be totally unacceptable. I also find the comments on knowing the risk etc. to be banal at best.
Every time any of us go out on our machines, road or track, there is an element of risk. We all know this and accept it. But, and it's a big but, can any of you honestly say that you accept that you may die? I don't think so, and I don't think TT riders do either.  |
