He succumbed from the result of a crash a few days ago during practice for the Skerries 100 in Ireland. He was 32 years old. In watching some videos it's apparent that there's a lot of public opposition and animosity toward "real" road racing and its organizers. For many racers it's the only type of racing worth doing. The risks are obvious and apparent. |

Oh, wow. Sad to hear of this, RIP (Race In Peace). IIRC there's a great documentary about the Dunlop family and their racing on Netflix, maybe Amazon? In more positive news, Dani Pedrosa is retiring... http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2018/07/dani-pedros a-retiring-from-grand-prix-racing/ |

I was sure that Pedrosa's retirement news was announced last motoGP round. the wife and I both were sure it was a topic of discussion 2 weeks ago. And hey, she is NEVER wrong... just ask her! |

RIP William. The Dunlop film is great and sad too. Netflix has it. Called “Road” |
