Default RIP Shoya Tomizawa

RIP Shoya Tomizawa
19 yr old Shoya Tomizawa, MotoGP2 racer, died at the San Marino round. He was involved in a horrific crash in which he appears to lose the front end and was subsequently, at least it appeared so, to be hit by his own machine, run over, and then hit by a third bike.

Again, RIP Shoya Tomizawa. Your young life and light was extinguished far before its time.
