What a terrible waste, will never forget my shock and disbelief on that day. He was my hero then and remains so to this day. The talk these days of BSB riders and 'Road Racers' blares when you consider after all those years away from the sport he came back to win a TT then days later had an epic win at the Post TT meeting at Malory Park and it wasn't the best bike out there (due respect to Sports M/Cycles). What a great ambassador for the sport he was and as he had just been UK captain for the Transatlantic team that year who knows what else he could have given to the sport.
