It is with great sadness that Motorcycling Ireland’s Short Circuit Committee and Mondello Park regretfully announce that following an accident on the opening lap of the second race at yesterdays Motorcycle Expo Event, rider Dave Lynch has passed away.
Mr Lynch was stabilised at the circuit and was conscious before being transferred to Naas hospital where his conditioned deteriorated and he later succumbed to his injuries. Dave was an enthusiastic and experienced competitor who raced at the circuit regularly and had competed in last weeks Mondello Superbike Championship.
Like many of his fellow riders he was looking forward to the demonstration races at the Expo where large crowds were expected and it was viewed as a real opportunity for Circuit Racing to impress. Both Motorcycling Ireland and Mondello Park wish to pass on their deepest sympathy to Dave’s wife Brenda, his family and many friends.
400 Racers would just like to add our condolences to family and friends.
