Posted May 16, 200816 yr As you may or may not have heard, road racing legend Robert Dunlop lost his life in a terrible accident at lastnights North West 200 practice. He was on his 250 with Darren burns following closely behind when his bike seized up entering the notorious Mathers Cross bend, Darren Durns could not avoid a collision and he hit Robert. He died later from chest injuries! Darren suffered a broken leg and concussion. This kind of tradgedy comes up every now and again in road racing and we all are aware of the risks, but when a rider is lost, itis felt all over the racing community! we offer our deepest sympathy for Roberts family and close friends. We may never see the likes of him again! also we think of Darren and hope he has a speedy recovery! we all hope for a safe days racing tomorrow!
