It has been a tough few weeks with the loss of Craig and now young Toriano. On top of this a kid I knew quite well died last week practicing for a SuperMoto race in the US. Anthony Hart was 21. ;(

May they both rest in peace.

14 and 21 are such young ages.

clearly motorcycling racing is one sport where you just can't have enough safety measures....

This is just so sad. It's one thing to say at least Toriano went doing what he loved but he never really had a chance to fully experience life. And it's not much better for Anthony either. Both taken way too early.
