Don't even know where to begin.
Yes it's a sad loss when a rider dies but the sentiments are spot on. If you have never raced then you don't and never will understand. Racing is in the blood and unstoppable, usually the harder the better, the danger is part of the enjoyment.
No rider/driver enters a race unaware of the possibility of it being the last sunrise they will see, they know and accept the risks.
You might say that this is selfish and childish and it is, it's not fare on those left behind but spouses made that decision to marry a racer and the parents encouraged it.
I have known my share of racers that have died and not one of the parents/spouses have blamed the sport.
I can only hope that I'm lucky enough to die with my boots on.
If you are going to apply your logic then we should ban road cars because people die in those all the time or sky diving or any other thing you care to mention where there is the potential for people to get hurt or killed.
