@Blackeye117 and m_waqas
Guys, for an unknown reason this season we have more crashes where riders have suffered serious injuries in all 3 classes of MotoGP racing. Even yesterday, during the MotoGP race the accident between Hayden and Capirossi was not looks like that serious but Capirossi needed surgery after that.
Although FIM's Medical Team Head and Race Director are defending the decision to continue with the race, last week they have red flagged the Indianapolis Moto2 race when 8 riders crashed out on the first lap at the start and I don't think either of them needs any serious medical attention. Also after such huge crash is their no chance of oil present on that part of the circuit which could cause some more accidents if the race continues.
Even the way those marshalls handled Tomizawa when they take him on the stretcher was unexcusable, they even drop him during that.
Blackeye, yes Pete Lenz was only 13 year old kid as RedBull junior series is only for age up to 16 year old riders.
