Gavin Lupton - R.I.P. - Malcolm - 21-08-2017 Sadly, it has been announced that Gavin passed away this morning.  On behalf of all at TTwebsite I take this opportunity to express our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Gavin at this very sad time. Malcolm RE: Gavin Lupton named as rider badly hurt in Dundrod 150 crash - Sussex Ninja Gal' - 22-08-2017 Sadly, some dreadful breaking news concerning Gavin. He has passed away in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast as a result of the serious injuries he sustained after the incident at Lougher's during the Dundrod 150 Challenge race. My sincere condolences to his partner Hannah & family, and all his colleagues & friends both in and out of the road racing paddock. May he rest peacefully. RE: Gavin Lupton - R.I.P. - Splashdown - 04-09-2017 I was not able respond to this post whilst on the Island. Couldn't log in with my iphone. I am devastated at the news that Gavin lost his fight for life. What a lovely bloke. You would be hard pushed to find anyone with a bad word for Gav. Chirpy, effervescent, kind and considerate, just an all round decent bloke, and a loving husband, and Dad. I want to remember him as he was at Scarborough. Winning! We had a fantastic weekend there in July........seems like just a few days ago. His beautiful daughter came with him, and we looked after her whilst he was riding. She was SO proud of her Dad, and I feel utterly heartbroken for her and her Mum. This sport of ours is cruel at times, and this was a really tough one for me, and it will take a long time to get over it. I rode his bike in practice at the Classic TT for one lap, and I was very privileged to do so. Gav, I was proud to know you, I valued our friendship, and I still can't believe that I will never see you again. Rest in peace.
