Isnt it one of the Irish mass start races?

In reply to Mark Westerman:

Yep, it's last years Ulster gp.

In reply to Mark Westerman:
Yes, tt as in tourist trophy type races (not time trial).

Edit: actually, is it the same incident? Maybe the ops crash wasearlier in the race

I read recently that Guy Martin's retiring from motor bike racing and TV work, something along the lines that it's always been a hobby rather than a profession, and that he doesn't mind dying so long as he knows why he's doing something dangerous like racing, he wants to carrying doing mountain biking being a truck mechanic instead.

I like how he's managed to do so well in bike racing while holding down his job as a truck mechanic, in driving back home after a race weekend to be up at six the next morning, and getting to do TV work as well. I found his biography quite interesting, in how he's always held onto his job as a mechanic to keep himself grounded.

I don't know if you'd call him a natural writer, but that doesn't always matter so much.

Ulster GP.

Dean Harrison was the first one down, broke his leg I think. Second fella down was Keith Amor, he was unhurt apparently.

In reply to StephenS:

Yes, spot on. With that info I checked Youtube and got a much better view of it and it looks just as nasty close up as it did from the helicopter. Amazing that nobody was seriously injured.

Crap resolution unfortunately.

Thanks, got GM's bio in a recent Kindle sale but not had a chance to read it yet. I was under the impression that he'd vaguely said that he won't do as much racing but not full on retirement. Wouldn't surprise me he stopped doing the Irish stuff and concentrated on the TT. Not seeing him busting a gonad trying to win the senior TT will diminish the event for me. Am just hoping that the lure of the big TV audiences isn't going to go to his head.
