The Isle of Man TT is the most dangerous race in the world. The stone walls and curbs there are real, and a mistake of a fraction of a second can bring irreversible consequences. Costello has raced knowing that reality better than anyone. Her injury isn't someone else's problem. We must never forget the weight every rider who takes on that island carries.

The Isle of Man is special whether you're a spectator or a rider, so this doesn't feel like someone else's problem.

That honest admission that it's hard to process makes me want to genuinely root for his recovery from here.

Since it was a sidecar accident, I'm concerned about whether the passenger was okay too.

A sidecar carries two people, so I'm anxious for a follow-up on the passenger's condition too.

For a veteran with years in the sport to speak this candidly takes real courage.

The weight of the phrase 'life-changing injuries' really drives home how brutal the Isle of Man TT is.

The Isle of Man TT is a public-road race, so this is an accident that should reopen debate about the limits of safety measures.
