Default TT bites again

Sad news, and the race proper hasn't even started yet.

http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/sp...ecar-practice/

I can't help feeling that just a little more in the way of safety barriers might have to put in. No matter how much people love it, and it's not like the riders don't know it's dangerous, but the Safety Elves are going to have a field day if anyone else dies.

RIP guys and warmest sympathies to the families.

The greatest bike race in the world though some stunning scenery, but has always been a dangerous course.

Thoughts and prayers for the families and friends.
Very sad news.
