To say that racing communities are tight-knit groups of people is a massive understatement. Still, it's not every day that you see such a clear example of the lengths that your racing family will go to in order to do right by you.
On September 15, motorcycle racer Luca Salvadori died following injuries sustained in a multi-bike crash at the weekend's IRRC round in Germany. The outpouring of both grief and solidarity from racers, teams and everyone in between was both immediate and ongoing. While it's true that everyone involved with racing knows and accepts a certain level of risk, it's still something that you never want to see. And it hurts every single time.
