Robert Dunlop RIP
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.

Sad loss.
It was on Radio 1 this morning, couldn't believe it at first. He's survived more crashes but this was a big one.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.
