Delay unexplained
NZPA-Reuter Frankfurt, West Germany Organisers of Sunday’s West German motor-cycling Grand Prix at Hockenheim failed to explain a two-minute delay in stopping the 250 cc race after a crash which killed Venezuelan Ivan Palazzese. But they said yesterday that Italian Fabio Barchitta and French rider Bruno Bonhuil, both severely injured in the incident, were showing signs of recovery. The Baden Motorsport Club (8.M.C.) said videos showed Barchitta crashed first. Bonhuil and Palazzese then collided behind him and they or parts of their machines hit Barchitta. A B.M.C. press statement said doctors reached the scene in 20 seconds, but a further 90 seconds elapsed while the clerk of the course Wilhelm Herz checked their instruction to halt the race.
