Had just spoken to my mother earlier, and she informed me of this, that my cousin has been in bits all day. he races the 400cc supersport and ian was one of his good mates, who he reguarly shared a Van with. Dangerous sport, but you dont see to much of this on track races, my heart goes out to the guy and his family, doing something he loved.


RIP.
