Sad news, visibility was terrible you could only make out the first couple of bikes in the pack. Zonetti had no chance of avoiding him. I know it's easy to say now but maybe the race shouldn't have been started.
RIP Sad

This is the footage of the accident, it's not graphic as you can't see shit.

Too much standing water/spray to race in my opinion. They've delayed F1 in the past when conditions have been a lot better then this.

Not a chance the MotoGP boys would've gone out in that!

A sad sad day.

It was a racing incident, nothing the other chap could've done. It's very, very sad.
