Christ. That's awful. He was a character.

Why won't they sort these bloody go kart tracks out?? They're rubbish. The riders will be safer and technically so much better if they race on proper GP circuits.

Didn't someone die in the supersport at Mondello this year? These aren't club racers anymore. They need better circuits with more runoff. :evil:

Awful news.

He was only down our local bike meet on Monday with his brother.
I have known him and his family for years - well his dad used to service my bandit - and I have watched him grow and come up through the ranks .

So young and a great bloke.
I'm gobsmacked by it all

Rip Mate

Loris the riders love these sorts of circuits more than the likes of silverstone.

agree with age about the riders liking the more technical and dangerous circuits lke cadwell park but im not so sure about mallory,the bikes are too good for it now. after looking at a few other forums theryre all saying for mallory to be scrapped and a extra round at donington indy circuit instead.

loris, yes there was a death at mondello,think he was called guy sanders in the supersport class. more at bsb this year than the tt and that aint a good statistic.

That's sad, he seemed a good guy - I enjoyed watching him when they televised the R6 cup 8)
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....
