"Flying Doctor" Killed at Skerries 100

[TenEightyOne]

I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't even realised this was a thing, a pair of emergency doctors who follow the pack at near-racing speeds.

One of them, Dr. John Hinds was himself killed in an accident at the Skerries 100 today... very sad.

BBC.

This is really sad. RIP, he gave his life for his and the others' passion.
