RE: Man of the Match ?
In my very first ManxGP a young rider called Peter Ray was determined to win the newcomers' award, and was warned twice by the stewards about his leery riding. He took no notice, was not barred from competing, and was killed in the race, more or less at the exact time his wife back in the UK was giving birth to their son. In my opinion, young Mr Dunlop should have been barred from competition until he had passed psychiatric tests to see if he had truly overcome his understandable grief. It is not just his safety, but that of those he might involve in a crash.
MGP '68 & '69; TT 1970-74
