Feck! Luis Salom dead after a Moto2 practice crash.

Ja sounds like the issue is that turn 12 does not have a gravel trap which would have helped slow down Luis. Very sad.Track layout change... After the crash, it's been decided MotoGP will use the same turn 10 F1 uses, as well as the chicane that bypasses turn 12.
Man this has ruined race weekend for me.
NotBrad Binder 4th with 6 laps to go...
