STATEMENT – Cadwell Park 28-08-06 Cadwell Park Monday August 28th 2006 10.00am MCRCB-Events regret to announce that Ashley Martin, aged eighteen from Shiptonthorpe, Yorkshire has died in hospital after sustaining injuries in an accident at the Gooseneck Corner at Cadwell Park circuit. The incident occurred during a qualifying practice session on Sunday August 27th for the British Supersport Championship. There were no other riders involved and the practice session was immediately stopped. He was unconscious at the scene after suffering a major head injury. He was treated by the BSB Medical Team at trackside and subsequently in the medical centre, where he was anaesthetised and ventilated. The Yorkshire Air Ambulance transferred him from the circuit to the Leeds General Infirmary to be assessed by the neurosurgical unit. He sadly succumbed to his injuries early this morning. The circumstances of the incident will be subject to investigation by the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board and the relevant authorities. At this desperately sad and tragic time, our thoughts and profound sympathies are with the family and friends of Ashley and when appropriate we will be seeking instruction from them as to how to provide the best possible tribute.
