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.

R.I.P. fellow rider...

Jerry Burgess: "Valentino moved through the field in Barcelona and everyone that he passed got a riding lesson."

"I think that if Casey had raced in the '80s and '90s with Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey and Mick Doohan, he'd have seen that every weekend," the Australian told the official MotoGP website. "It was probably something that he wasn't particularly expecting; [he] probably expected to win the race easily like he'd dominated in the practices."

"Pedrosa put up so little a fight it would have embarrassed a Frenchman"

To consider Tom to be as knowledgeable as Jumkie, Rog or Pete is to overate him. His comedy value and ability to talk about being an engineer can be compared (and is argueably superior) to Pinky, but he would have achieved considerably less without Google.
