Hi,
Thats the first time I have ever watched the Macau Motorcycle GP live.
I havnt seen anything as horrific as that at a bike race since I watched the Dan Cooper/Ryan Farqhuar crash live on BBC 1 Northern Ireland.
I was quite shocked at what I saw this morning, it looked like Glenn Irwin was too !

Was watching it at work when a job cropped up and I had to pop out for 5 mins, came back and it was all over red flagged, so missed the incident,? Who was it, any news on how they are?

Hi Rigga,
I honestly can remeber his name, it was a name I recognised, but not one of the better known names.
The video was on you tube for about half an hour after it, but it has now been taken down.
It didnt look good at all.
It was on the 6th lap.
It looked like Glenn Irwin was badly shaken on his return to the pits, all the cameras were round about him, so his pit team all stood in fornt of the cameras.
The commentator said that as "Glenn Irwin was more of a circuit racer, he was probably not used to seeing such things close up." ...... or words to that effect.
I cant find anything else about it online.
Hope the poor bloke is ok.
steven.

Understandable for the video to be removed, and no news whilst things are unclear, hope the guys OK too, no one wants to see anyone hurt racing bikes.

It was dan hegarty and unfortunately he died. Irwins a true road racer he knows the score, but that makes no difference when you see a compatriot pass away.

So sad to hear of Dans death, was a nice lad I knew him from racing at Derby Phoenix (long time ago) rode a KR1S at that time
My thoughts go out to his family RIP DAN
