“You best look out Micky boy as I am coming through!!”
The first words Paul Bird ever spoke to me; slightly intimidated, as a 16 year old boy I quivered a lame response. Paul was ‘The Man’ at the time during the Supermoto heyday of the late 90s; (1/5)…

To break your pelvis with only a few laps remaining just about sums up the last few years of Eugene’s career. Those latter years marred by injury and unfulfilled potential given the highs of the early days!

MotoGP is fantastic this year. 5 races in 6 weeks saw 3 first time winners and a further 2 taking their first steps onto the podium. Entering the summer break we have 7 riders within 25 points. 9 races in 11 weeks will see either a brand new champion crowned or Vales 8th title...

The outpouring of grief across social media shows the regard in which Keith was held. A friend, a team mate, a Father and a gentleman who could ride a motorcycle faster than even his titles attest. He will be sorely missed! My thoughts are with Keith’s family and close friends
