What I am so gutted about it the fact that I was so looking forward to seeing what he could do next year... I really thought the larger bikes would suit him more than the little riders like Pedrosa. Ahhh.

I still feel sick thinking about what happened. He was such a good rider and a pleasure to watch race. RIP

Awful, what a character, what a shame. I watched his interview after the Philip Island race and was smiling at his Italian English, I can't believe he's dead.

Of course I have no idea of the details but it doesn't look like the medics were over careful.

True, but as he'd suffered major head, neck & chest trauma after losing his helmet as reported then chaces of bringing him back were slim

Said they did CPR for 45mins which shows the amount of resus they were trying to do, as that would have at least kept the oxygen going round in his blood and most importantly to the brain, which is the golden hour of patient care. After that then its downhill

But if I was a riders rep I'd question that patient handling, seems like the medics need a lot more training

Yeah, that would have been great. Still a shock a day later.
