Just got back from my holidays in France to hear the terrible news about the death of Steve Hislop. On top of the recent loss of the great Barry Sheene, and of course DJ at the TT this must be one of the darkest periods ever for UK bike racing.
Same applies to Dejira Kato, killed on first GP race of the season. Colin Edwards will now move from Aprillia to Moviestar Honda to be Sete Gibernaus new team mate.
I followed the TT for years and every time there is a death I wonder if its worth it to have a race there. Every time I go I say it is worth it , but even though safety is high the track will take lives time and again. RIP all who crashed there.
Nice to hear Kagayama is walking again after his Cadwell park crash (British Superbike Championship). Heard he may be back on the bikes as soon as March this year.
