    he was running harder compound tyres than anyone else and lost the front mid turn.
    that would have been fine but it then caught again and pushed across the track where he was hit hard by edwards and rossi.
    the hit tore his helmet off and he wasn't moving.
    edwards dislocated his sholder roossi rode back to the pits.

    race red flagged and waiting

    Wasn't nice to watch.

    Given the race is cancelled, I hope what I predict doesn't eventuate.

    I feel very, very sympathetic towards the commentators, I'd hate their job at this time. I'd guess I'd fold and walk away but I'm weak.
