Terrible news, couldn't have been long before he retired for good this time.

Would be nice to think he is racing Joey in the afterlife with all the others lost to road racing.

It was on Radio 1 this morning, couldn't believe it at first. He's survived more crashes but this was a big one.

Another sad loss, you have to feel for the family, only 8 years since Joey....

How long before the anti road racing brigade pipe up again....

Sad news, a great character and racer, as was his brother

Alex

Sad news RIP

A sad loss, another of our hero's gone, his son Micheal raced this morning and one the opening race, the 250cc, now that a tibute to his late father and his uncle Joey.

You can watch the racing live on the bbc web site today.

I have just watched the Superbikes, mad race.

Congrats to Michael Dunlop, the family deserve it.
