Robert Dunlop was special down Cooleyhill Road - over the jumps - its like a Moto X section.



That is a spectacular place - amazing the speed of those guys


i parked at Castle corner and took the scenic route - walked thro cow shi$$e, tripped over branches but it was worth it in the end.

It was John Donnan, a really nice man and great rider. I still cannot take it in even though i was there and saw it. It was a very sad day.

My thoughts and prayers are with Johns partner, and family.

RIP John

Rider Donnan killed at Tandragee

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...ndonnan203.jpg John Donnan was a former Irish Superbike Champion

The Tandragee 100 motorcycling meeting was abandoned on Saturday following the death of a competitor.
Ardglass rider John Donnan was killed during the Supersport 600 race at the Northern Ireland road racing event.
The 42-year-old crashed at the chicane near the start-finish area when attempting to avoid another competitor.
Donnan's bike was catapulted into the nearby paddock area by the crash and narrowly avoided hitting a number of team officials and spectators.

Donnan was a former Irish Superbike Champion and had also run his own road racing team for a number of seasons. He had competed in motorcycling events for 20 years.
