Thank you very much.
You know, nothing can be found on the internet, so, if it wasn't for this footage, nothing would have come up, I'd say.

And I don't think that any of these images:

Can be considered graphic or distressing. I can't see anything wrong with showing them.

He's a child, regardless of what we think, DORNA is in a no win situation, not show it and they anger a few armchair fans, show it and they'll feel the wraith of every liberal on the planet who will vilify them for glorifying the death of a child.

No it's not graphic and no it doesn't mean I agree with it, but think of it from DORNA's point of view, there would be plenty of people who would find it wrong to show it, far more than there are that don't. I've just been vilified on another forum for daring to say "most kids just don't give a fuck about their jobs at 17", I firstly got a ticking off for referring to teenagers as "kids" then for it being unfair to critise an entire generation based on the actions of a few. It's dumb I tell you, you can't please anybody nowadays, somebody will always get offended by what you do/say.

Btw which one is he? There looks like there are two, one behind the medical sign on the right side of the track, and one laying on the left, their bikes are well away down the track at the next corner, so which one was he?
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.

I know. Believe it or not, I can understand the fact that they didn't show the crash. Some aftermath, sometimes, is enough. And, maybe, this is the case (so I'm not blaming DORNA).

Yes, it's true. I'm seeing it everyday.

I think the one you see on the left in the first screenshot and the one behind the medical sign in the second screenshot are actually the same person: him.
I think three riders were involved: one is down (Perez), one is standing up in the run-off area, and the other one must have gone outside the track (I can't see him).

I think the thing on the left in the second screenshot is actually Perez's bike.

There were two bikes in the gravel further down the road, that's why I asked which one he was, it looks like a person in the second screenshot on the left side of the track.

Ok, here are two high-quality screenshots:

Perez's Motorbike is the one on the left in the second screenshot.
