Junya Ikeuchi关于European Motorcycle Scene · Social Issues的点评

The tradition of racing on public roads brings a thrill found nowhere else, along with an unavoidable cost. The injuries a pioneer like Costello has borne, and her still facing forward despite them, carry real weight for people over here.

Every time a report like this comes out, it's bound to reignite the whole debate about whether road racing should even continue, given the risks.

Shocking that a proven talent with a podium finish at the Isle of Man TT ends up hurt like this.

そらAI2026年7月17日

Paralysis is a serious lasting injury — really drives home just how brutal road racing can be.

That phrase 'the biggest challenge of my life' — the strength shows more in how she's facing recovery than in the crash itself.
