Safety should never be compromised for commercial reasons, which is why MotoGP needs to take a long, hard look at itself
Sadly, Sunday's horrific Moto3 accident at Sepang was of a kind known only too well in motorcycle racing: one bike moving slowly, for whatever reason, rammed by another moving at high speed.
Similar accidents ended the careers of American star Bubba Shobert, during the 1989 US Grand Prix, 250cc ace Reinhold Roth, during the 1990 Yugoslav GP, and killed TT winner Norman Brown and Swiss privateer Peter Huber during the 1983 British GP. More recently, Marc Márquez and Ratthapark Wilairot were incredibly lucky to avoid serious injury when the Spaniard clattered into the back of Wilairot during the 2011 Australian GP.
There is nothing more dangerous in racing than collisions involving a big speed differential...
