    Does anyone know where abouts these are on? On the wedsite it says 2 miles outside Ballybunion. I don't want to be coming in from the wrong side and end up driving 10 miles around to get in. (Like what happened in Athea last year!!) :o

    Just speaking to some guys who said this was freak accident, Richard knew there was a problem and had slowed down to 35-40 mph. Apparently he had his left-hand raised to indicate his problem to other riders when the engine seized and flipped him off the bike. It appears that it was the awkward angle he landed rather than speed or force-of-impact that did the fatal damage. Tragic.
