Gold Member Kivalo Posted August 28, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted August 28, 2023 Oh shit! Which one was killed? I'm guessing the guy on the pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted August 28, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Damn. I wonder if he had stayed down if he would’ve been better off to just get run over vs hit and thrown through the air like that.

Apparently they both died..... wow A shocking accident marked the fourth stage of the Brazilian Motorcycle Speed Championship in Cascavel on Sunday. Shortly after the start, during the completion of the first lap, 42-year-old rider André Veríssimo Cardoso was struck on the track. He and the rider of the other motorcycle, Érico Veríssimo da Rocha, 38 years old, did not survive their injuries. André had started in eighth place. As he exited one of the turns at the Zilmar Beux Autodrome, he fell and ended up in the middle of the track. When he got up, he was hit head-on by Érico. After emergency treatment, he was taken to the operating room but suffered a cardiac arrest. The riders share the same last name, but they are not related. Following the collision, at around 1:20 PM, the race was immediately stopped under a red flag. Adhering to all the international safety protocols established by the International Motorcycling Federation (FIA), the riders were transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Those guys are fearless and sometimes this is the result. Sad day for the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Same thing sled racing. Didn't always fear the crash, but the carbides and studs coming at you, especially on the ice sleds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
