The Canadian rider is at the hospital with serious internal injuries, but his life is not in danger now, and this is the most important information.
However, his fight for the third position of the championship is now ended..

He came out of the track at high speed in the last corner, and Duhamel hit the wall only less than 20 feet from the hedge of the layout...
Just a small mistake, somthing happening everytime, but who could be terrible for the rider.

So the debate is now open with the words of Ben Spies, a friend of Miguel Duhamel who talk about this accident in Roadracing world :

“Miguel fell. He’s a pretty good friend. And it’s just ridiculous. He’s pretty bad off, not horrible, but for the crash he had it could’ve been a whole lot worse.
“It was just a matter of time. That corner was gonna get somebody. Even one of the best riders out there, it got him. I’m sure he wasn’t putting it on the line, but for whatever reason, Miguel fell down.
“I’m not happy. I’m really bummed out that he’s hurt. I’m just bummed out that the track won’t fix it. I think they need to move that last wall and another wall or all the riders need to come together and say we’re not going to race there [in 2008].
When you’re going 125-130 mph through the last corner and you’ve got a wall 20 feet off the racetrack it’s not safe. It doesn’t need to be like that. Miguel, right now, doesn’t need to be in the hospital.
We shouldn’t have to be going through a corner that fast thinking, ‘Oh, man. If I fall I’m going to be messed up.”

For sure Motorcycle racing is a dangerous sport, but the Zero risk factor does not exist, but solutions are there to minimize it...
