Italian World Supersport rider Andrea Antonelli had a get off in the rain during the opening lap of this past weekends race in Moscow and was struck by another rider. The track had a lot of standing water and visibility from tire spray was very poor; rain tires have come along way but when visibility is as bad as it was there, track officials and the FIM have to realize this and make better decisions. Racing is dangerous enough without the added effects of mother nature and wet races are part of the sport, however you cannot ignore rider safety.
I am off to hit the streets in search of that elusive job, rock on.
