One year, one year since the MotoGP world lost an incredibly talented young rider. 
At Misano last year in the Moto2 race Shoya Tomizawa lost his life after a horrific crash that will stay with everyone in the moto world forever. It was a sad day for his family, friends, the MotoGP Paddock and fans. 


Shoya was such a loveable character, he had a cheeky, upbeat personality, he constantly had the biggest smile on his face, was respected by everyone and was a massively talented rider, a star of the future. 
He made history as the first ever Moto2 winner at Qatar last year where he stormed to the victory and made his mark on the Moto2 world. His year was on the up with several top 6 finishes and pole positions until the fatal crash at San Marino. 


For me, the race yesterday was hard to watch, it didn't feel right and i couldn't help but think of Shoya for most of it. 
I miss seeing him line up on the grid, waving to the camera with his infectious smile and positive attitude that he always portrayed. 
I miss supporting #48 


Shoya, On the track and beyond, we will always follow your line 
R.I.P Shoya Tomizawa, you'll never be forgotten #48.
