Sad news indeed.
RIP.

 

[David Stallard]

Go Eleven Kawasaki paid tribute to its fallen rider in a touching message on its website.

“Goodbye Andrea

“You made us dream, we did have fun and you made us become one of the top teams in Supersport, but this did not give you the glory you deserve.

“Now 'He' wanted you up there amongst the clouds. We will ride here, mere mortals, and we will continue in your memory and in your passion.

“Andrea, you were a great rider and a golden boy, one day we meet in heaven we will hug you again.

“Do not forget, we know you will see us from up there ... Give us the strength to continue.”

A terrible shame - been an awful year for motorsports fatalities, I just hope this is the last one.

Found a shot of Antonelli from last year's Silverstone round:
