"Nitro" Noriyuki Haga finally won at Nurburgring Germany SBK, while he was in total slump for long time. Also his team, factory Ducati recently announced that they are pulling out from the SBK race, so he will be unemployed next year; it is a much needed win for him. He raced like he used to... had almost 3 seconds lead to 2nd. While Haga enjoyed his victory, At San Marino, Italy, Moto2 rider, Shoya Tomizawa crashed and hit by following bikes, losing his life.
"The Japanese racer was at Moto2 Race competing at the San Marino Grand Prix today (Sunday.) On lap 12, Tomizawa fell during turn 10 – and lost grip in his rear tire.
This, of course proved to be fatal for Shoya Tomizawa as he was subsequently hit by Scott Redding and Alex de Angelis – and suffered thoracic, cranial, and abdominal trauma.
He wasn’t killed instantly. He was taken to a hospital in Riccione after going to the Grand Prix’s medical center.
The fatal crash made some participants reluctant to compete. As an honor to Shoya Tomizawa, the flags were kept at half mast and there was no champagne at the conclusion of the race." -Adan News
