Another great rider has perished. This time, an ex-GP500 star, Norifumi "Norick" Abe. It seems he was struck riding his street bike when a truck made a U-turn in front of him. He was taken to the hospital where they pronounced him dead. It seems they are charging the truck driver, especially since a U-turn at the location was illegal.
I read in the Japanese news today (for those of you that read Japanese), read here:

Even the great Vale Rossi had respect for him. Rossi even made a famous sticker for himself that said "Rossifumi gambatte!" (roughly translates to "Go for it or Go for the win Rossifumi!").
