Damn... looks like he was killed by the bike just behind him hitting his head
At least it was a sudden death in the middle of him doing something he loved... RIP

23 years old, its tragic to see someone go so young, lets hope he enjoyed life while he was still at it 
Total loss

It wasn't sudden, he died in hospital a few days later.
Very sad

I thought he died at the scene? Either way, I doubt he ever regained conciousness so at least he died without pain. Looks like the bike hit him right afterwards to me...but seeing the body totally motionless like that...that is eerie...it sent chills down my back.

sad, sucks to hear about... just another example of the risks taken in motorsport.
so what happened? the bike that hit him from behind caused the fatal injury??
