    Yep. Family aside, it's got to be young Mr Pitt that you feel for.
    They say you don't know how you would react in a given scenario - but
    that would finish me off with biking.

    I was just talking to the missus about how Andrew Pitt will be feeling and
    although he can't be blamed, he'll probably blame himself and he won't be
    feeling very good about life I imagine.

    I *was* going to say "He must feel the pits", but I restrained myself.

    It looked horrific as it happened live on Eurosport. Poor chap.

    I haven't seen the race yet so I didn't know he'd crashed, who hit him
    and who won until this afternoon.

    Look, he was wearing Alpinestars gear, death was inevitable.

  7. Looked pretty fucking nasty on the Big Screen on the outside of Paddock Hill
    bend.

    You could see he was out cold as soon as he hit the deck.

    It was a cracking race as well - up untill that point obviously.

    From my memory it looked like as he came off the bike Pitt's front
    wheel hit him square in the face at full chat.

    It's on Youtube. Quite why someone thought that posting it up as a
    "tribute" was a good idea, I don't know.

  13. I was spectating from the the entry to clearways. Without going into
    unnecessary detail, it was very obvious to everyone around that bit of
    the circuit that it wasn't good, but at least it was quick.

    I think they should pull it until at least after the funeral.

  15. I was very surprised to see that the BBC.com news item also showed
    footage.

    Apparently, some of the clips *have* been pulled, but not all of them for
    some reason. Some from Frogland are still up.

    That was my first impression. It didn't look too bad, and I assumed he
    was unconscious from the event, which sometimes can be a good thing.
    I didn't play it again, just didn't feel like seeing it a second time.
