Tragic isn’t it.
When the BBC had it’s own production team for MotoGP events until about 3 seasons ago, our hero was a regular subject for interviews.And what a lovely lad he seemed to be. He had that laconic drawl, so “down-home~y’all” and a warm and engaging personality.
He used to be interviewed by a BBC staffer.. Suzy Perry, can you remember her.? She is a gorgeous creature and very bike racing savvy.. the pair of them flirted outrageously, and it was a joy to watch.
I didn’t know him, never met him, but I really did like him.
So, so sad.
