19-year-old Tomizawa died later in hospital.

Redding was also taken to the circuit medical centre, where he received ten stitches for aꩵ laceration to his 🌳back. de Angelis miraculously walked away from the huge accident.

"Scott's crash was a big one, so we are thankful that the only in🌌jury he sustained was a minor laceration on his back," said Redding's Marc VDS team manager Michael Bartholemy.

"We were deeply sad♏dened by the news that Shoya Tomizawa succumbed to th🔯e injuries sustained. He was a respected rival and will be sorely missed in the paddock.

"Like everyone in the Marc VDS Racing 🦄Team, my thoughts are with his family and frien𒅌ds at this time."
