NorthWest 200

Kudos to BBC for broadcasting this event live on the web -- BBC - Northern Ireland - North West 200

Sadly we lost Robert Dunlop - brother of Joey - in a crash on Thursday.
Thoughts are with the family

and typical Irish road racing approach ... Michael Dunlop, son of Robert won the first race today on his 250cc !! Must have been difficult to compete in the race your dad was killed practising for

Michael did what his father would want.
To go out there and win for him.

Beeb said they'll be putting up feeds on their service ... BUT you might find it's UK only, so give an extra hour or so till someone posts it on YouTube for BBC to get it removed 2 hours after that
