Gus, was a friend to many and it's hard to believe that his life has came to a end all to soon. I have spoken to people who have known Gus well and they can't believe it and niether can I. Gus was a little like big DJ. He was always up for a laugh but when he was racing it was serious.

One thing that I can't believe is that a marshall couldn't hear the noise of a roaring great superbike coming from miles away and would have had the sense to know that it was coming and waited until he passed. And also a broken down rider surely has the ability to park the bike by the track himself.

But all the same it has resulted in 2 deaths and plenty of people hurting, especially Gus' daughter.

R.I.P GUS!!
