Heard the tragic news that Kato passed away tonight after being in a coma for nearly two weeks.
It was after he lost control of his Honda at Suzuka in the Japanese Race 13 days ago that he had been fighting for his life.

A sad loss, i think u will all agree

Sad indeed, had young children too.

We all know biking and racing is dangerous, but it is always sad when this sort of thing happens.

Oh no

I was really hoping he'd pull through.
Really sad news.
Don't know what to say really, except Rest In Piece.

heart goes out to family. Its terrible something like this must happen to highlight the errors of suzuka track, and its marshalls. R.I.P, kato the legend.
