Heard this on the news this morning.

Very sad & tragic. Thoughts go to his family and the other riders involved.

Always sad to hear news like this, but it was obviously something he loved doing. I had a few close calls in my short racing career, and feel lucky to have finished with nothing more than good memories. One of my mates died the following year in a start line incident, just to bring it all home. As you say Scotty, they all know the risks. It's something they have to live with to compete in the sport they love. RIP Ben... :(

R.I.P Ben. I was at Cadwell Park for the weekend and it was a good weekend (atmosphere) up until that point. Thoughts go out to his family, friends and colleagues.
