Williams bike didn’t start for a reason that day🙏

I absolutely love bikes .....as a ex Motorcross rider who's raced at a competitive level I know a little bit about racing .......but I really struggle with this lot I really do......these guys that race on these circuits especially the TT ....I can't help thinking that their really selfish ...the ones that have kids and close family ....when they die their family always say they died doing wot they loved doing but they died doing wot their family hated .....the last thing that goes thru their mind ain't nuffin to do with love when they crash ....it's FUCK....I've got 3 little girls under 6 and the only thing that stops me getting a bike on the road is the realistic chance that I mite not come home after going out on my bike.....I just don't get it the TT even tho I love watching it is just so dangerous.....if you hit a fonebox at 180mph it's curtains....sorry you bike fans but that is just my opinion !!

Road racing is not for everyone and that's fine. You're entitled to your view, if it's not for you then no problem, don't watch it. But attitudes to life (and death) vary and it's important to respect that we're all wired differently. Let me explain from a road racer's perspective. a) Road racers don't risk death - we all die. What a road racer risks is years. Potentially a shorter life with racing, instead of potentially a long life without racing. But nothing is guaranteed. My father never raced and died of cancer at 46, I raced and retired fit and healthy. b) The phrase that "he died doing what he loved" is misleading. No racer WANTS to die and if you knew it was coming, you wouldn't race. A much more fitting expression is to say someone "lived doing what they loved". They dreamed of being a road racer, and that's what they became. They lived their dreams. I lived mine and raced at the TT, even though I wasn't much good. Not many people can say they really lived theirs. c) The idea that families hate it is misleading. Some do, mine weren't keen and personally, I wouldn't have raced with kids. But some families love it, the whole family goes along. It's a way of life for them. Of course they don't like the risk but to see their loved ones chasing dreams is an extremely positive experience and real family affair. In a nutshell, if it's not your bag then no problem, it's not for everyone. But you take risks racing motocross that others wouldn't understand. I don't understand that attraction of people smoking their way to cancer. But we respect each other's right to make our own choices. Please don't allow the fact you don't personally understand the attraction of road racing, to lead you down the path of calling for it to be banned. Each to their own.

I agree it’s not morally right for married men with children to be dying for selfish reasons. I love these races. The wives know the risk marrying somone like that but the kids would never consent to having a dead dad because of a bike race
