TT Champ Joey Dunlop killed in bike racing accident.

Just heard news that the great Joey Dunlop has been killed in a racing accident in Estonia. The greatest TT racer of them all. Gonna miss you Joey. Ian.

I second that.

This has to be one of the saddest days for motorsport. I had the pleasure of watching Joey at the TT and the man was a marvel and a gentleman. To the TT he was simply "yer maun". He was a natural road racer and always seemed to enjoy the race, the circuits and the people. He will be missed. Peter Locke ========== Dunlop killed in road race Five-times TT Formula One world champion Joey Dunlop has been killed in a crash while taking part in a road race meeting in Tallinn. Ballymoney-born Dunlop, 48, was racing on a 6.2-mile circuit on public roads in the Estonia capital when the accident occurred. Honda racing manager Roger Harvey confirmed that Dunlop, who leaves a wife Linda and five children - Julie, Donna, Gary, Richard and Joanne - had been killed during the race. Dunlop, who was awarded the MBE for his motorcyling exploits and the OBE for charity works, started racing in 1969 and won 26 Isle of Man TT races, the first coming in 1977. He won three races at this year's Isle of Man TT and was rumoured to be contemplating retiring from competing in the festival. Dunlop was racing at a non-championship international meeting which began on Saturday, when he had won the 600cc supersport race. He had won the 750cc superbike race and was racing in the 125cc event - leading on the second lap - when he crashed. He is believed to have died instantly.

Sorry this is long, but the man deserves it !! See you on the roads Joey .......... Peter From: Martin Wilson <[email hidden]> Subject: Joey Dunlop. (Bit Long) Thought this was of relevance Sunday 2nd July 2000 Updated 9:01pm BST LEGEND DUNLOP KILLED IN ROAD RACE A country mourns Five-times TT Formula One world champion Joey Dunlop has been tragically killed in a crash while taking part in a road race meeting in Tallinn, Estonia on Sunday. Ballymoney-born Dunlop, 48, was racing on a 6.2-mile circuit on public roads in the Estonia capital when the accident occurred. Honda racing manager Roger Harvey confirmed that Dunlop, who leaves a wife Linda and five children, Julie, Donna, Gary, Richard and Joanne, had been killed during the race. Dunlop, who was awarded the MBE for his motorcyling exploits and the OBE for charity works, started racing in 1969 and won 26 Isle of Man TT races, the first coming in 1977. He won three races at this year's Isle of Man TT and was rumoured to be contemplating retiring from competing in the festival. Sports Minister Kate Hoey paid tribute to Dunlop, saying: "This is terribly sad news. I am shocked. Joey was a wonderful ambassador for his sport and for Northern Ireland. "He showed true dedication and commitment and will be deeply missed by all motor-cyclists around the world. My sympathies go to his family. I so enjoyed spending time with him at the recent TT races in the Isle of Man. His victory there thrilled us all. He died doing what he really loved." Sports Minister Michael McGimpsey said: "I'm shocked and saddened to hear of the untimely death of this great Ulsterman, who I was talking to only two weeks ago. "I do not have full details of the circumstances but my thoughts are with his wife, Linda, and his family, and my prayers go out to them." Motorcycling broadcaster and writer, Harold Crooks, who knew Dunlop for 30 years, said: "Joey Dunlop was possibly the world's greatest motorbike rider of all time. "He was also a terrific ambassador for Northern Ireland and one of the greatest gentlemen you could meet. He was so quiet and unassuming about his fame, it was almost unreal. "I don't think he ever thought he could die in a race but it is always on the cards. "He was loved in the Eastern bloc because he had carried out so many charity mercy missions there, bringing clothes and supplies to people there, particularly children, whom he always wanted to help." Motorcycling journalist Jimmy Walker said: "Joey was a legend over the past 25 years. Many times he was asked when he would retire and he always said he wanted to win another Isle of Man TT. "That was his favourite event and this year he won three races there including the Formula One on the opening day and the 125cc and 250cc races." Mr Walker said Dunlop was deeply affected by the tragic death of his best friend Andy McMenemy three weeks ago, just after the final TT win, and pulled out of several other races. The bar owned by Dunlop in his home town turned into a shrine to the motorcycling legend on Sunday night. A bank of flowers built up steadily throughout the evening as people in Ballymoney, Co Antrim, stopped to salute the shy sporting hero who lived among them. "I can hardly believe it," said one tearful woman tucking a bunch of flowers into the Honda vinyl skirting hanging from the windowsill outside Joey's Bar beside the railway station. "To think he was so close to the end of his career and he had to go like this." Some who visited the scene were too distressed to speak. Messages placed with the flowers expressed a sense of irreplaceable loss within a closely knit, unassuming rural town. One said: "Our hero". Another: "King of the road forever". One man said the racing champion was Ballymoney's finest ambassador and a privilege to have known." Fame never changed him. He was always the same way. A real Ballymoney man and not ashamed of it." Another recalled him as a quiet character whose shy nature belied his genius on the roads. "He was happy enough to talk all day about bikes. But not about himself. He just loved to race." What can you say? Mr TT, King of the Roads. Mr William Joseph Dunlop. He rode a motorcycle around the Isle of Man like a God. He is a motorcycling colossus. 23 TT races over a career spanning nearly one quarter of a century. This man was a legend, a folk hero and a genius, he was quite simply the best to ever grace the hallowed tarmac that is the Isle of Man TT.

Every year there is controversy if someone is killed and they try to ban it, but I hope they never do. - Michael

God damnit. Hearing this really cuts to the quick. I'll keep my thoughts to myself on this one :-(( Joey Dunlop....King of the Island. MS

This has shades of Jim Clark.....A bloody 125 race. Just found this on a web site. Death of a Legend Isle of Man TT legend Joey Dunlop was killed in a 125cc race in Estonia today. The 48-year-old Irishman was racing on a street circuit in Tallinn and crashed in a high-speed portion of the circuit, according to sources at the circuit. Dunlop was running a close second in the race to local star Lembit Teesalu when the accident occurred. Dunlop, a 26-time winner of the Isle of Man TT, won three races at the Isle of Man last month. cn "m.seery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Rb_75.4743$[email hidden]... > > > > > > > >Just heard news that the great Joey Dunlop has been killed in aracing
