Just found out.

He left the TT this year due to personal reasons. Wonder why he carried on racing.

RIP.

His wife was having a difficult pregnancy and he was concerned about her and the baby is why he didn't race at TT this year , I presume that she has now had the baby and he returned to racing , terrible situation for her and the rest of his family . I believe Micheal is at the same meeting , I can't imagine how he will be feeling .

Just seen this, he seemed the gentle racer of the family, I cannot even think of what the Family is going through now, heartfelt condolences to everyone concerned. RIP William.

I have no idea how she managed the strength to write that. Truly awe inspiring.

Read that yesterday and couldnt post ;( .

To have lived with the knowledge of WD’s family history and known the probability of a bad end speaks volumes about her inner strength. Reminds me of Dobbsy’s widow featured in “Closer to the Edge”.
