I don't get the addicted and its in their blood thing. That makes it sound like they really have no option but to go and race to feed their feelings. Plenty of people have addictions, some can quit and some can't but it's always the choice of the individual that decides the outcome. Faced the thought of the high risk of death and leaving a grieving family behind and never seeing kids grow up would sure be enough for me to decide what I need to give up. There are successful road racers who decided enough was enough and got out while they were still alive and they are the wise ones. Maybe for a young guy with no dependent or responsibility it can be justified in his mind although he also may have a mother, father and siblings alive who would be devasted if something happened.
Just tragic and hate to think this carnage can continue. Also shouldn't take a big name fatality to restart this type of debate, the life of any rider whoever they are is precious.
