I remember you taking him out on the 125 at lunch for a few laps on Fabi a few years back, it was great seeing him battle it out on saturday. Best of luck Cameron!

Thanks for the update. This is great news considering a few of the texts I received from other riders! GWS #13!
Yep. Time flies. Good memory you have. That woud have been his first day on the track. 2 years ago this month I believe.
Hopefully we can get his bike back running properly before Tremblant. He has been down on power since his crash at St Eustache.
O well. He has had to learn to race and fight hard to hold his positions with what he has had.
He couldn't get better than high 1 53s this weekend despite running 1 50 last year on the same bike.
The climb on the straight was painful for him as others just repeatedly caught back up.

When I saw you take him out on the 125 I thought that was awesome, now you are taking him racing and I want a dad like you!
I was watching in corner 4 and yeah he was switching positions every lap on saturday, back and forth great stuff.
The younger kid who rides the 125 no wanted to be out there this weekend so badly too race against his brother.

Apparently, he will be ok with some recovery time.
There was a horrible incident at the BMW Motorrad exhibitions. Two trails riders were doing stunts, along with young boy. The one rider flipped off a teetering platform and the bike's spinning rear wheel landed on his head. The treads caught the face edge of the open-faced helmet and twisted his head between the road and the wheel.
He was conscious and had arm movements, but many thought he was lucky to not have broken his neck. Haven't heard since the ambulance took him away, but the boy was his son, and was really upset. Very difficult to watch. I've seen these two riders before, they have a lot of experience and amazing bike control, but over and over in my head after seeing that I'm convinced he could have avoid any in jury with a full-faced helmet.
Just shows you don't need speed to have a dangerous situation.
first crash turn 3 lap 17 of the liter devision, walked away.
next lap same corner Martin Ricard had a bad crash. Wasn't moving much after he hit the tires and bike followed him in.
I was on corner 3 on sat for the super bike race. Saw both riders go down.crtistie was ok just ****** off. The crash on lap 19 was much worse for the rider but I'm pretty sure he was ok in the end. Got it on video. YouTube. Search.
Mosport 2013 superbike crash
By basmn to view it. I ran this track on the Thursday of the race weekend and man is it fast. Just hope every one is ok. My prayers go out to all.

The latest news for Christian is not good: https://www.facebook.com/groups/5116902 ... ion=stream 
Sad news indeed according to the FB page someone had put up.
Lots of condolence wishes to his family and friends....RIP. CSBK and other sites haven't mentioned a thing yet. Many posting RIP comments on the FB pages though. Some of the Quebec racing pages saying that he died earlier this morning.

A late post, but wanted to say thanks to all those that gave me tips for my first visit. I really enjoyed myself, and was right on the other side of the track officials booth where these crashes occurred. Intense indeed and a sad conclusion to the story.
At any rate, coming from a long time closet motogp and wsbk fan, finally seeing a race in person, the sounds, racers different lines through corners, and above all, the variety of interesting people to chat with.
Appreciated.
