This accident sounds serious.

Could people please be considerate of the family and friends of the affected bikers and not post any speculation in this thread or any information that has not been officially corroborated.

Many thanks.

And best wishes for all involved.

My best wishes to both these riders. Hoping for a quick recovery and the best possible outcomes, under the circumstances.

One of my colleagues was one of the first on the scene and will be visiting both riders once things have settled a little.

(Gentle) hugs to the guys and their families and friends.
