Japanese rider killed in Isle of Man qualifying session

RIP Yoshinari Matsushita. :(

Sad to hear this but I have to believe he was doing what he loved.

TT is one of the toughest and most dangerous races for 2 wheels.

a sad loss my thoughts go out to his family at this terrible time.

Having watched footage of racing on this street circuit - where in many places hay bales are the only protection - you've gotta have cojones of steel. RIP, fella.

R.I.P Yoshinari Matsushita.My thoughts are with you,your family and the team.It is the worlds toughest race as AKBfan stated.I have the utmost respect for any rider who races at this what must be the worlds oldest extreme sports event.
