Robert Dunlop has died from severe chest injuries resulting from a crash in practice in the North West 200. Another racer, Darren Burns, suffered a suspected broken leg and concussion in the accident.

Robert's brother Joey was killed racing in Estonia in 2000.

Condolences either way, at least he went doing what he loved.

Bugger - used to love watching Joey and Robert, and Steve Hislop go round the IOMTT on tv.
