The Accident
Rijeka (Yugoslavia) 1990 in the 250cc GP a series of events that started with Wilco Zeelenberg having a fall on Saturday so he did not race on Sunday, hence there was a free space for the race and Australian Darren Milner, whose time was out of classification, got a chance to race. The rain started and the race was stopped the completed lap before the accident, but the flags did not show up on time to stop the leading group. On a left hand curve, all the front pilots were at full speed despite rain, including Roth, who collide with Milner who was riding very slow. In fact Reinhold Roth got the 6th place for the race, in the last season he was intended to participate. 2 months after the accident he woke up from the coma. 20 years after he is still Hemiplegic.

“Take away an accident of pigmentation of a thin layer of our outer skin and there is no difference between me and anyone else. All we want is for that trivial difference to make no difference.”
