RIP ~ The Fastest Road Racing Doctor
Re: RIP ~ The Fastest Road Racing Doctor
It'd be nice if the TT coverage on TV included a 30 minute slot telling everyone what the doctors, paramedics, travelling marshals and fixed marshals do to keep the show going because they all put themselves out way beyond the level most people will ever grasp.
It's no fun doing any of those jobs because you're the first ones on the circuit and the last ones off, you can't take photos, you can't have a beer when you're watching and it costs you money to do it.

Watched the whole thing.....very poignant, but I laughed too.
I'd read before that he was a genuinely funny guy.
A really sad loss, not only to motorcycling, but to medicine and to humanity.
I really hope we get the air ambulance here in his name.

Great video and a lovely, funny guy.
Didn't another doctor get killed at the Isle Of Man within the last year or two?
