There was even bigger chaos in (i think) one of the practice sessions. 2 bikes were on fire as 3 riders crashed approaching the first chicane!

A 22yrs old spectator died during the night, falling from a tribune.
That was an accident, according to the news.

I can't think of where he did that, or where it's possible to do it by accident.

Not sure if you are watching the 2013 race but a massive crash just happened between 4 riders.

Ambulance is at the scene, one motorbike is spilt in half. The race is live on MotorsTV

Honda TT Legends withdraw following Le Mans crash

The Honda TT Legends team has retired from the 24 Heures Moto at Le Mans, France after Simon Andrews was involved in a four-bike crash during the sixth hour of the race.
Andrews was conscious and coherent following the incident and was taken to circuit’s medical centre for immediate assessment, before being transferred to hospital with a broken left ankle and suspected chest injuries. He will undergo x-rays to determine any further damage.
The Honda TT Legends were running in third place at the time of the accident with 18 hours remaining in the 24-hour race. The bike was deemed irreparable and the team was forced to retire from the race.

Simon Andrews again. Poor guy, talk about an injury-filled career.

EDIT: his injuries are quite extensive, unfotrunately.

Is it just me or do the commentators sound like they're in a box, talking down the phone?

Yeaa, sorry. Didn't see the point in starting a new thread to just ask that question.
