Very sad. This happened yesterday, just a couple days after R2SL, during the AMA racing:

Toriano was 14 years old, competing in the Red Bull series to find up-and-coming pro's in the making. We had one of them at our R2SL event tearing it around and he was quick!

So young, very tragic.
RIP rider!

That sucks. What a tragedy. Godspeed racer, RIP, and deepest sympathy to all his family, friends, and fans. He will be missed.

so sad at a young age
Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
My daughter met most of the Red Bull Rookie riders this past weekend and Toriano was one of them. She was able to talk to a few of the riders yesterday which was very hard for her as well as them. He will be missed by many.
These kids are amazing out there on the track.
