NW200 - Road Races

[Red Dog]

A few pics from the NW200 from Thursday evenings practice session.
Have to pay a special tribute to Michael Dunlop (no 10 below) for showing true grit, and bloody minded determination after he won todays 250cc class, just 2 days after his father Robert was killed in practice for the same event.
I don't know how he got the strength to do it, but I have total admiration and respect for this young lad and the emotions that he must have been going through today.
Forget your Grand Prix stars, these guys are truly something special.

I am happy Michael won, just for his father. I don't think I could have done it.
Great pics btw

Nice shots Red Dog, It takes someone special to ride a racing bike, to get on one and win after your Dad died doing it is really special.

great pics there, and as you said all credit to young Michael, guess he did that one for his old man.

Not the first Dunlop to be killed,how really sad.
It's hard to comment on hearing that.
Respect to the Dunlop racing legends.
