-Mongrel- Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 A full statement from MSVR reads as follows: On the first lap of the National Superstock 600 race at Cadwell Park circuit, Benjamin Gautrey fell on the right hand corner at the bottom of the Mountain section. He was unavoidably hit by two riders immediately following him, five riders fell in total. The race was immediately stopped. Gautrey, 18 from Southport sustained significant and serious chest and head injuries, he was treated immediately trackside by the BSB Medical Team before being transferred to the circuit medical centre where further attempts to resuscitate him were made. All other riders involved in the incident were uninjured. Tragically he succumbed to his injuries. RIP young Ben, sad when we lose a racer, doubly so when so young and talented.

the enigma Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) It's been a bad weekend in the world of motorbike racing.Two riders from Northern Ireland have also lost their lives in the space of the last 3 days.Adrian McFarland, was killed in a crash in the Czech Republic on Saturday and Wayne Hamilton,died in a crash in the Junior Manx Grand Prix today. BBC Sport As you say,it's very sad for someone so young to loose their life,taking part in the sport they love.Our thoughts are with the families these riders.

gixxerboy Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Very sad... must admit it brought a lump to my throat when Ben Wilson gave his interview just before he went on the podium as he rode for the same team I think... :( :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
