heywoodu 13,555 Posted October 7, 2022 #618 Share Posted October 7, 2022 British Superbike rider Chrissy Rouse passed away aged 26 https://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/2022/oct/6/msvr-statement-chrissy-rouse He crashed last Sunday at Donington and got hit on the head by a rider behind him, who couldn't avoid him anymore. When I was watching I was already feeling rather uncomfortable with the fact that after the red flag, absolutely nothing was shown (which is not a good sign). Only info was the commentators saying it was probably Rouse, since the rest was still coming through on the split times towards pit lane.
