Road Race Legend Dies

[Rocko]

Robert Dunlop, brother of the already deceased god of road racing Joey Dunlop passed away tonight after a horrific 160mph crash during the practice session of the North West 200.

Very sad news indeed, especially for everyone in NI.

Made all the more poignant that his son went on and won the 250cc race.
