Robert Dunlop: A widow's heartache
Friday, May 16, 2008
The devastated wife of racing great Robert
Dunlop today said the "light had gone out" in
her life as motorbike fans across the world
struggled to come to terms with the death of
a legend.
In an emotional interview, Louise Dunlop told
the Belfast Telegraph that her husband knew
that racing would eventually kill him.
Father of three Robert (47) lost his life
after suffering fatal chest injuries during a
160mph crash at practice for the North West
200 ....
"Robert would never give up racing. He loved
it and he regarded himself as having been a
man with two careers. When he had a major
accident in 1994 in the Isle of Man he pulled
himself together and decided to race on
despite the fact that physically he wasn't
the same man."
