Yesterday
I posted this yesterday too but maybe it was too soon. The really sad part is that he just had his second child a few days before the event. That stinks. I'm still amazed that the barrier on that part of the track was as close as Kenny Jr. said it was. It's odd to see a rider of his caliber go down like that, particularly when they cannot find fault with the bike. It comes down to "not enough run off room" really. Does anyone know if this was on the "new" section of Suzuka they just added? Seems to me it was.

He went out in the race in a blaze of glory running in the top 10 of the best in the world. If one has to go out young, it was a good way to go. Rest easy Kato.
