Just heard the terrible news that Chrissy Rouse has sadly succumbed to his injuries and died. He had a terrible accident at Donnington in a round of the British Superbikes last weekend. He was only 26 years old.

Very sad and for the following rider who was involved, we have lost so many riders this way and airbag racing suits etc do not help in this type of crash.

10 years since Marco Simoncelli and there have been quite a few.

 

Not sure the answer but perhaps a more staggered grid as this occurrence seem to happen on lap one when jockeying is most intense.

Even a limit on horsepower in these end of season races when temperature and grip are lower.

The worse of accident types IMO.

 

Thanks for his and his fellow riders massive bravery and talent and may his family find peace in his personal choice to go racing.
