They also announced over the PA free tee shirts at his stand, this was later followed up with a plea to return the Conti tyres from the display, as only the tee shirts were free!
Think they got them all back!

Ohhhh that's no good .....

U know it comments like this that really fark me off!!!!!!!
Listen to this and understand this...
As a marshall We are not allowed to go untill we are given the go ahead!
Trust me when I say this, we (and I speak for all of them more than likely) are chomping at the bit to go, we dearly want to run out there and give any assistance we can but we are not allowed to! We have to wait untill either the red flag comes out or we get the go ahead!
Mate if you'd heard the radio chatter when he went in, plus all the others over the 3 days that needed the ambo on course, all of them The marshalls were screaming to go out and help (I know I was and I was no where near it).
For the others that I was involved in (3) that needed the ambo, yeah I'm running and shortning the distance between me and them, each time waiting, watching, praying for a red flag or the approval real fast, especially if they ain't movein, my legs are going like hell to get to them. We want to jump in and help, that's our job!
You ask any marshall and I am sure all would go out the moment a rider is down, raceing and all still going. We'd get in a power of shit if we did it though!
I know if it was life threatning, say fire / rider trapped then hell I'd just run like hell (most would I'd say) who cares about getting in the shit then!
The bloke who jumped the fence I think was / is know to the cantab club and is a motard rider? not too sure.
I feel ya pain man, it didn't look good!

Understand your work man, maybe its the layout of the track that's to blame?
No obvious flag being waved from the station beside (is it) Castrol Straight (?)
I was on the bank and he crashed and lay not far from a number of us, a number of the public were waving arms, hats, programmes etc to try and warn riders as they didnt appear to be getting a flag from anyone?
Maybe you need more marshalls?
Never a good look seeing a rider lay prone.
It is a tricky corner and never fun running off there.

I not sure if it appropriate for me to comment about this in a public forum but here's what happened....
Pt 2 had yellow out and comms of it before the dust had settled (that's what woke us up to it), coms were coming in from 2, 3 and 4 re rider down and his status.
It's the moments from this point to a red or the approval that seems to take (in my opinion) a life time.
Trust me when I say this, we dearly want to run, limp, hobble like mad out to a fallen rider. Remember some of the guys have been there and done that, got the tee shirt and wear the battle scars to prove it.
Some of the shit we see, you wouldn't want to see.
I look at it like this, what happens on the track stays on the track. I for one will do what ever I can to assist any fellow fallen rider, period! (most feel the same as I do)
