Damn. His wife is pregnant too.

I remember going to a race meet with a friend who raced at Aghadowey (or was it Bishopscourt? My memory is failing me) about 20 years ago. His dad’s van was parked next to us in the paddock and in between races he and Michael and a few other kids including me all had a competition to see who could ride their rigged BMX the furthest. It had a gear in the headstock which made the wheel turn the opposite direction to the bars. Was bloody hard but a good laugh, and I’ll always remember what a down-to-earth group they were.

RIP :(
