William Dunlop RIP.......

[123]

William Dunlop killed

Another sad loss for the Dunlop family. 10 years after his dad Robert was killed and uncle Joey died in 2000.

Road Racing is a lethal sport, and these deaths are all to common. Like his dad and uncle he died doing what he loved.

RIP William.

Highly unlikely. Road Racing is a very unforgiving sport, its extremely popular here but their are many fatalities each year.

In the North West 200 there have been 10 riders killed in the last 10 years. That's just 1 annual event here. The Isle of Man TT event has taken around that many in the last 2 years.

I was away on hols last week, and only had just watched the BBC documentary film about the deaths of his Dad & Uncle. Quite sad to see he's lost his life to the sport. Wonder if his cousin Michael, will give it up now. Somehow, I don't think he will.
