I'm really sad to hear this, and my thought's go out to all his friends and family at this terrible time

I loved Bike's and still love motorcycle racing with a passion, but sometimes you forget just how deadly pushing the envelope really is.

He was an awesome talent, and he had champion written all over him.

He will be missed

I too love racing. I’m a medic on all sort’s of motorsport events on 2 or 4 wheels in Norway. I have been on the seen on 3 racing deaths and many that barely survived. It’s always sad when deaths happen and you never get quit used too it. Butt they know the risk and they die doing something they love more than anything in life.

I totally agree with you mate, anyone who's thrown a leg over a motorbike for any length of time knows the risk's only too well

It's terrible to see motorsport lose such a young, great talent. 

The past 10 years have seen so many developments in the area of safety in auto racing, but there's so little we can do for safety on the bike.

Thats the problem it;s the danger that makes it so enjoyable, it's as close to modern day Gladators as you can get, but there really is no way of protecting the rider

But that's part and parcel of the sport, at least it's a much rarer thing these days
