Watching it live today on Quest tv there was 11 rider’s involved in accident at turn one in the Super Sport race
which looked terrible, the organisers cancelled the rest of the meeting with no updates on Rider’s involved conditions but I have just seen this official announcement 🥺🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻

Rip. At least one rider and bike was sprawling across the track, but it seemed to be bunching to avoid them that really caused the big incident

Edit, on second viewing there's a guy sliding on the track who is hit quite clearly
The board equivalent of the Jody scheckter chicane. Fast but pointless

RIP to those who lost their lives.

Riders racing in packs is a seemingly impossible thing to make safe.

I was following along with the updates as we were getting them... such a sad, sad situation all around. God bless them all.

Love one another.

RIP to Owen Jenner and Shane Richardson. :rip: Thoughts and condolences with all friends and family, indeed the whole BSB and Supersport community.

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to Tom Tunstall and all those injured.

A horrible tragic weekend. :tearful:
