ya what was up with that, I was thinking the same thing .. 2 angles back and forth jeez man
 
Sat quiet for half the day after I saw this, Did alot of thinking, Godspeed to his family and friends.
 
It was definitely Shoya that was dropped while on the stretcher :mad
 
To me it appeared he likely was struck in the head initially and probably broke his neck before the other bike ran over his midsection. Hopefully it was a quick death. Rip that is unfortunate.
 
ya i'm pretty sure he was alive until a bit after they carted him off because during the race they were getting updates on riders involved in the crash and the initial report was only minor injuries.
 
Moto2: Statement from Shoya Tomizawa's family

Via Crash.net:

The following statement has been released by the Technomag-CIP team following the tragic death of 19-year-old Shoya Tomizawa in last Sunday's Misano Moto2 race.

Shoya Tomizawa was one of the rays of sunshine in the paddock and within his team. He never missed an opportunity to dedicate a smile or a 'hello' to anybody he encountered.

He enjoyed having fun with his colleagues but was also a very professional rider who was spirited, and fully concentrated on the development of his bike after every ride.

All were impressed by his talent and his refined style of riding. He worked hard to give his maximum not only for himself but for everybody in his team, who had become a second family with whom he spent most of his free time between races.

We have not only lost a talented rider, we have lost a friend and a son who radiated the joy of life and transmitted a good feeling to all those around him. This will always remain in our memories.

We write these lines as a thank you to all those who have sent us messages of condolence during these past hours. Through these messages we have achieved a great feeling of warmth. This great support shows that Shoya was not just appreciated by his own family and friends, but by many more.

Without Shoya nothing will be as it was before, but thanks to its passion for the sport and the encouragement of his family the Technomag-CIP team will continue its adventure and challenges in Moto2.

His parents want us to keep his smile and mischievous look in our memory, and remember that he passed away doing what he loved.

Cordially,

Parents, team CIP and Technomag

I think Shoya was already gone by that time. After getting hit in the head, and then run over...

I wanted to believe those updates as they were being made but it's pretty clear that they didn't include Tomizawa's condition. His injuries were about as far from 'minor' as you can get. :(
 
ya after reading more i found out that Lorenzo was told that the rider was dead before he went out for his race. such a tragedy, the riders who hit him were also charged with manslaughter charges but i'm sure they wont stick.
