A 23 year old English motorbike racer in World Supersport, he sustained serious head injuries in a 170mph tank-slapper through Clack Curve at Brands Hatch which left him lying unconscious in the middle of the track. He regained consciousness in the air ambulance but died in hopsital today.

He was a seriously talented motorbike racer and there were high hopes for him.

Sad business indeed, it really is a wonder how it doesn't happen more often.

Come on it's not that much of an issue is it, if you want to see it click the link, if not don't.  Personally I don't so won't look/click.

Shame about the crash, but that's the risk you take I suppose.  Thoughts with his family, very young to die.
