A part of every trackday briefing reminds all riders that in the event of an incident you are not to stop on or off the track to see if someone who is down is ok. There are trained marshals on site to do that for you and having another stationary bike sitting there for someone else to hit is not a good thing. If you're down as well then fair enough, go over and check, but if you can still ride you ought to go back to the pits and check your own bike for damage before heading back out on track again.... or wait for the fallen rider to come in so you can apologise at the very least.

I'm not condoning the R1 rider's actions, far from it; I think the guy is a grade A tw4t and should be banned from future trackdays as he obviously uses them for time testing, evidenced by his posts on the R1 forum detailing his lap times. He showed his true colours when he loaded up and disappeared before Druid had a chance to confront him and then posted about how wonderful his riding is on that R1 forum just hours later with no mention of the fact he wiped another rider out. That is truly despicable behaviour.
