Super bike riders
Sadly, news today, that two riders killed at WSB race at Laguna. Don't know the circumstances, . Was sorry to hear this. Young men, for sure before their time.
Bianchi also was very sad news, buried today. |

Daniel Rivas and Bernat Martinez were the riders. Rivas had a problem with his bike after the start of race 2 and was hit from behind in the turn one area. He was run over by another rider. Several other bikes crashed trying to avoid the carnage and Martinez was in that group.
It's not the first time that a massive crash has occurred at that spot during the start of a race. I was there several years ago for another superbike race and a couple riders came together and a whole bunch of them went down. It's a sound you don't soon forget. A very sad day, for all concerned.

Very, very sad. 2 Spanish gentlemen in America chasing their dreams and having a blast. Racing can be such a cruel sport.
