What happened? Who was there today?....i cant remember any dangerous walls at start/finish apart from the bit where you get into pits but even that isnt very dangerous.

They will likely be well known either in the racing community or KB. Fuck.

RIP to the fallen rider, and condolences to his family and friends. I was there, but I don't know anything more than the newspaper does. Everybody there was pretty shocked, and the day was canceled shortly after the accident. Ride safe everyone.
