The Northern Ireland road racer William Dunlop has died after a crash during practice for the Skerries 100 in County Dublin.
The 32-year-old rider from Ballymoney, County Antrim, was a member of the Dunlop dynasty of racing greats and a repeat winner of the North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix.
William was cute. I hope he didn't leave any children behind. Those who race accept the fact that they might be involved in a fatal crash. It's a danger of the sport. However, professional drivers may be in less danger than we street drivers are. The crazy citizens on the roads are a huge danger to everyone.
