Less than a day in the game, Richardson shared a video on Instagram, which included part of an interview, where he talked about his excitement for the upcoming game.
Richardson is an outstanding figure in motorsport in New Zealand. He is known for his dedication and skills, and he began to compete as a teenager and steadily establish a career on the domestic and international stages. He moved to the UK for professional opportunities and competed with the Astro JJR Victory this season.
Motorcycle New Zealand expressed condolences to his family and friends in a statement: “Shane is a passionate competitor and a proud kiwi, representing New Zealand with honor.”
Richardson's team also paid tribute to him, remembering that he was a talented and determined rider. Racing drivers and fans call him warm, modest, and dedicated to the sport he loves. “Our ideas are with their family, friends and teams during this deeply sad time. The cancellation of the competition scheduled for Sunday is a sign of respect,” event organizer Motorsport Vision Racing (MSVR), said. MSVR has conducted a comprehensive investigation into the incident. Shane Richardson's crash shocked the racing world and refocused on safety measures in high-speed motorcycle racing. A minute of silence was held at Oulton Park on Monday to honor the two drivers.
