Tributes have poured in from around the motorcyling world for William Dunlop who tragically died in a motorcycle crash in Skerries yesterday afternoon.

The 32-yr-old road racer died during a practice race for the Skerries 100 event after he’d just come back to the sport having not participated in the Isle of Man TT.

It’s understood he didn’t participate in the TT to be with his pregnant wife and their daughter in their home in Co. Antrim.

Mr Dunlop’s father was killed during a practice event for the NW200 race in May 2008, and his uncle Joey died during a racing event in Estonia in July 2000.
