Martin Finnegan aged 29 was killed today in a racing accident at the Tandragee 100 held in Northern Ireland.
The accident happened whilst the multiple irish road race champion was competing in the 600cc race, haven just won his 43rd road race, it is thought his engine went Pop causing him to lose control and hit a hedge at 140mph, also injuring 3 spectators.
Another terrible loss to the road race superstars.

Its shocking news alrite,

A massive loss to the sport..

Condolences to martin's family, He was given a good send off.

Also condolences to the spectator's family that passed away as a result of the incident


R.I.P


not sure how true this is yet but supposedly his brake lines bust and Martin being such a late braker never had a chance!!
SERENITY : four wheels move the body. two wheels move the soul.

It's not speed that kills.. It's the sudden stop!!!!
