Matt Battista's crash...UPDATE

Hello all,
yes, Matt is in a bad way, but nothing about his condition is confirmed. Please do not speculate on this forum about his condition, as only family and BHS Racing team members are in the loop. Again, out of respect for Matt and his family, please keep your opinions to yourself. I know it is hard at times, but think of the family and team. We are all very shaken after today and would like to ask for some privacy in this matter.
As soon as the family deems it apropriate to release information about his condition, I will update this thread. And please, if anyone took any pictures of the bike, do not post the pictures. To all the familiar faces I saw at the track after the accident, sorry for not being very talkative. I hope you understand and forgive me. I can`t think of anything worse, from my point of view, than having your rider injured seriously.

On behalf of Matts family and BHS Racing, thank you for understanding.

Stephan

Bad news Stephan, I guessed it must have been reasonably serious when I spoke to you at the track. Our thoughts are with Matt and his family and we wish him all the best for a full and speedy recovery.
